I need fewer developers with that attitude, I want people who can get stuff done, but by their nature, put it off. There will always be those that procrastinate

I need fewer developers with that attitude, I want people who can get stuff done, but by their nature, put it off. There will always be those that procrastinate in a team and there will, thankfully, always be those that just get it down. The reason why your technique seems to work for you is more likely because are picking up your slack.
I wholeheartedly advocate you getting off my team :)
- ZoF 12y agoYou have no idea of the context from which he is making that statement. You have no idea of his technical competence or his efficacy with regard to completing tasks and shipping products. You have very little legitimate basis from which to extrapolate that he/she would _ever_ want to be a member _your_ team in the first place. Judging by the implicated narrative you seem to be espousing, I'm sure _I_ wouldn't want to be a part of your team. Even disregarding the fact that you mistakenly omitted the word "others" your haughty comment could not have been better phrased to portray a small-minded project manager with little understanding or empathy for those that _apparently_ work under you. The assumption that any programmer commenting here is equivalent to a 'member of your team' is little and less based in reality, and much and more based in your own flawed interpretation of it.
