I’m very busy with things (video games, movies etc …) so it is not uncommon for me to outsource some programming work these days.<\/p>\n
Side note: I have to tell you, as an old-school web nerd who likes code, it was really hard at first to let go and let others do the work. Fortunately, it’s getting easier with every project!<\/p>\n

Anyway, I do have my assistants here at killersites.com, who by the way, are a tremendous help. Nonetheless, sometimes I get outside help for whatever reasons.<\/p>\n
Crazy quotes from Java nerds<\/strong><\/p>\n I decided recently that I wanted to contribute back to an open source project that I have used in the past … by throwing the people involved in that project, some work. I also agreed to release the additions\/modifications back to the community. <\/p>\n Anyway …<\/p>\n The modifications I wanted were relatively simple – a couple of filters, some rearranging of the UI etc .. <\/p>\n So I get back the quote for this project. I want to mention that I could do it myself in say two days – and my Java skills are rusty! The point is, this was not a big project. <\/p>\n … And yet in the quote, we had a project manager budgeted in and crazy time devoted to testing. For example:<\/p>\n For a button that took the user to a screen\/view that already existed … just a button: 8 hrs of testing!<\/p>\n ??<\/p>\n Now we all know that Java guys love to over engineer, but this is crazy! When will Java nerds learn that you don’t need an aircraft carrier to move a rocking chair.<\/p>\n Stefan Mischook<\/p>\n www.killersites.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m very busy with things (video games, movies etc …) so it is not uncommon for me to outsource some programming work these days.
