> The only value add to software development is people who can do software development. You just described why projects fail. Developers Developers Developers. Architects? We don't need, we are so smart we integrate everything ourselves. Marketing? Sales? Who needs that, my github repository sells and when it doesn't, there is always oDesk. And don't get me started over "customers" and "clients". To cut the sarcasm here, yes, I know that a lot of MBA's and Architects suck. As do a lot of software developers, even if they call themselves agile or know that svm is somehow related to classification. So I do not really see where this straw man burning leads to .

> The only value add to software development is people who can do software development. >> You just described why projects fail. Developers Developers Developers. Read it again. Software development isn't the same as the whole project. > Marketing? Sales? Who needs that, my github repository sells and when it doesn't, there is always oDesk. And don't get me started over "customers" and "clients". Hyperbole. > I know that a lot of MBA's and Architects suck. Not what I said. "If you are an architect, I don't care about your slides and umls, unless you know what you are talking about, and can do a PoC before dumping your horseshit of slides on me." is what I said. > As do a lot of software developers, even if they call themselves agile or know that svm is somehow related to classification. I implemented bayes, and suppose I don't know about svm. If an architect comes raving about svm is so much better than bayes because (I read a blog/I read a book/my thesis adviser told me so/once I did a project), it's your job to prove svm is better for the problem at hand. Don't waste my time with your slides and blogs. > So I do not really see where this straw man burning leads to . I don't either. Your whole post is full of hyperbole(marketing sucks, oDesk, github). You are making up arguments I didn't put, and then responding to them.
