it's probably from watching the forums coding saga that i slowly gained awareness of PHP's existence, and really the fact that it would drive someone to Perl in frustration is all you need to know

Reading those chatlogs, I get the distinct feeling that all the screaming at and making GBS threads all over Radium has been expertly censored. "Richard, I'm almost done" "NOT GOOD ENOUGH! START AGAIN!" What are you hiding Richard.

Radium is the admin who came on here waving some really dumb libertarian beliefs around and banning people who disagreed with him, right? I don't mean they were rude, they just disagreed with him.

I think we're starting to conflate radium's and grover's canons, which is not good their legends were unique and singular

I don't mean they were rude, they just disagreed with him. IIRC someone like a mod or admin used a dummy account to espouse something or another. OR was that Grover? Anyways, I like this idea of open source forum. I would trust the cat loving janitors in the nerd forum to care for this Gay Deceased Forum.

What if radiums error messages is cockney rhyme slang? Someone stole your trees: The server was brought to its knees. Your pants are on fire: The memcached situation is currently very dire. You're gay: The forums are not okay.

"Richard, I'm almost done" "NOT GOOD ENOUGH! START AGAIN!" Also I get the impression that radium's code wasn't terrible and infinitely abstruse for any reason beyond him being bad at his job and nonstop procrastinating so much that he did no actual work on many of his workdays and the poo poo he supposedly spent weeks on was probably pasted together in a few hours. His stupid baby deflections remind me of me when I was a dumb teen squirming out of getting my homework done on time.

Volte posted:I agree. Some people would need access to the code but in general all we'd really need to release is the database schema, and the project mandate becomes "Make a back-end library to talk to this schema". That part would happen from scratch and we could use unit and integration tests to put it through its paces. The forum itself being changed would come later, once the library is stable enough to support it. i dont get how its so hard, ya got a users table, and a posts table. then, to get fancy, a subforums tables. badabing you're done

Someone can correct me if my memory is wrong. There was drama over radium or team barry being called a lovely coder or the forums going down. To cut down on such drama an account was called maintenance robot or something, which would post the updates about maintence. But then i remember seeing the maintence robot was banning people which I found strange since i thought the point was to just have an account for maintenance poo poo

My rate is $150/hours and it'll probably take about 6 months to deliver less than previously, but at least you'll be agilllle. I'm a veteran of 6 Sigma and ITIL, and I recommend this additional layer of management. Why hire better coders when you can hire MBAs to manage them instead. This avert was paid for by the committee to employ business graduates.
