Survey Results

How often do you shoot down product tool choices your manager / team lead presents to your team?

Survey period: 19 Nov 2018 to 26 Nov 2018

Why you would ever buy a tool for a person using a tool without asking them about the tool is beyond me.

Sometimes I miss being the programming department. When you are the designer/architect, implementer and QA, the odds of bug getting through drop considerably. If, heaven forbid, one does show up, you probably know were it is before they finish explaining it. The reason I left the job was because I wrote most of the code they used and was literally going nuts due to boredom.
