I often wonder how developers are actually able to develop without being able to throw together the entire stack they use without following a detailed tutorial.

- unfocused 15y ago@r00fus: You hit it on the nail. I was actually involved in creating all of the initial reports for upper management for statistical purposes (metrics). It's because management had no clue what anyone was doing because the team grew too quick too fast. I was fortunate at looking at the numbers of 30+ developers. Everybody had to enter their time. Even if you spent 10 minutes reading email, you enter it. I am not exaggerating. All the numbers were bullshit. Everybody made sure to have 7.5 hours. All the numbers were padded. The metrics didn't actually reflect the truth, just how people padded their numbers. @devicenull: I have done that as well. You basically program using the "leap of faith" methodology. You're never 100% sure that what you wrote won't break something. You rely on others to validate your work. Assuming the "others" know what to do.
