    Quoted from bmunn1:

    Simple, hire more coders. Have Lyman and designer map out the planned rules, modes, light show, sound and wizards and let a mass of coders develop and test. It's called project management and supervision which seems like Stern is incompetent in its software area. They have individual talents but no means to leverage to multiple areas at once. They have no excuse for the price they charge. People need to talk with their wallets. I haven't bought a new pin in about 4 years due to my frustration with BDK (so close to being epic).

    And if we get 9 women, we can have a baby in a month!

    Quoted from bmunn1:

    You must work for stern. My 25 years of software development coding and project management of large highly complex systems ranging Cad/cam, production line monitoring and PDM thinks your out of your depth.

    Nope, 16 years of IT and this is the typical mindset I've experienced in many shops. Usually means we're onto the project death march

    Quoted from wxforecaster:

    As a software engineer, having owned a software company, and been on massive design/engineering/development teams, you sir clearly haven't a clue. A collaborative project, done with version control, project management, and specific tasks, can absolutely be done in a fraction of the time (and likely better and with significantly fewer bugs) than via a single expert.
    Do you think one person writes MAME? Google's Apps? Amazon's website? iTunes store?
    Thank you for opening 2014 with the most misguided post I've seen yet.

    How does not anyone get "And if we get 9 women, we can have a baby in a month!" is clearly sarcasm? Especially a phrase that is repeated in many IT shops every day? Jesssh.

    My point is that "throwing bodies" or "Simple, hire more coders" (as previously mentioned) is not always the solution, yet it's what most people immediately jump to when software development falls behind schedule.
