Greetings Dear Readers…

I’m bit confused right now, I have just left a development meeting for my place of work. Present were “The MD“, “The Code Ninja“, and “PhoneBoy“.  Just so you have the back story, I was at one point Head of Development for the place I work (albeit briefly before a company wide reshuffle).  PhoneBoy is a consultant who works for us desinging a PBX system, and I have spent the last few years teaching him PHP, mySQL, etc.

So, we’re in the meeting and the MD describes phase 1 of a new project, which is basically a simple no frills web form, populating a database. (easy, newbie mukyu level work), and I get asked “Which bits if any do you think you can handle, and which bits do you need PhoneBoy to do because its too hard for you”?

WTF???

The CodeNinja, The Black Belt in Coding, incapable of a simple Newbie task?

Possible time for Career change!
