web developers = ‘pain in the ass’

It’s one thing to be a slave to the corporate machine, but to put up with the web developers they hire is another story…

Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch. “Why can’t I load a 2Gb table into memory to do a simple ’search & replace’?”; “What are all these ‘^M’ characters in my HTML?”; “What do you mean I don’t have ‘root’ access on the production server?”. Blah, blah, blah.

Fuck ‘em. If I were doing the hiring they’d have a terminal and a ‘Vi’ session to prove their worth. It seems any ass with a Windoze HTML GUI can get in the doors these days, esp. if they have their green card and a PhD in Environmental Engineering from India.

Yeah, I’m a UNIX bigot - prove me otherwise…
