They were on a system where if bugs existed past a certain date of them being logged, their was financial penalties that had to be paid. Also adding new features was incredibly slow, painful and dangerous. Even a minor change resulted in so

In any decent organisation, a bug that goes out to live isn't the developer who wrote the codes fault. It's a team fault, meant that maybe the PO didnt spec correctly, then the developer implemented something wrong, then this was

This is such a weird thing isn't it. It's like this in the UK too, every conversation starts with "How are you?" "Fine, how are you?" "Fine." It's always the same, pretty much. It's daft, it
