Okay... here is my morning rant. Everyone can feel free to join in.

<rant>
My client complains that prospective customers don't like the product because it looks to home grown. It even acts home grown, very amatuer, and very "some kid-in-high-school's first VB project".

They just had a meeting for the first time to dicuss a strategy for a cohesive UI. THIS WEEK!!! AFTER I'VE BEEN HERE FOR FIVE MONTHS!!! THE WEEK BEFORE VERSION 1.5 IS SUPPOSED TO GO PUBLIC!!!!

I complained about a functionality problem, and had some spare time, so I wrote some ASP to add some functionality that I felt was missing. You could go into a groups on call schedule and add people, but individual people couldn't edit their own schedule. If you went on vacation, then you had to go to three or four places to remove yourself from pager support.

What I wrote is simple, and works, and is understandable. But there is no security. I complain about this. I could go in and add the CIO to pager support. I ask what can we do? Today they tell me they are using auditing. TODAY!!!! We have had no meetings since I've been here to discuss anything, to talk stategy or make sure that everything is instep, with a common goal. TODAY THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE AUDITING!!!

So now I have to go back and add this crappy auditing routine that they have.

My client has a potentially good product, but they have no ****ing clue how to build a stable, real-world app that is competitive, scalable, upgradeable, that is tight and light. This is ametuer hour in Visual Studio.

These people don't even have QA!!!! There is no beta testing of any of this crap. I write it, I test it on my machine, and then I put it in the bin to be released. No matter how many times I say, "This should be load tested atleast." They just don't get it.

THIS CLIENT IS A ****ING MORON!!!!
