Write An Enterprise System
Open source transcript
WE'RE PAYING WAY TOO MUCH FOR OUR ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS.
I WANT YOU TO WRITE SOME SOFTWARE THAT DOES ALL OF THAT STUFF FOR US FOR FREE.
THAT WOULD REQUIRE HUNDREDS OF PROGRAMMERS AND SEVERAL YEARS.
YOU'RE COMING OFF AS LAZY.
IT'S JUST SOFTWARE. HOW HARD COULD IT ?
REARRANGING ZEROES AND ONES IS NO HARDER THAN KNOWING YOUR SALT FROM YOUR PEPPER.
IT'S SO EASY THAT I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT REDUCING YOUR PAY TO KEEP THINGS IN BALANCE.
I'LL BET YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING.
