No Programmers?
Comming from a SmallCo perspective where I’ve always been involved with “everything”, this was very interesting…
For the purpose of this article, a “programmer” is someone who does nothing but code new features and [if you’re lucky] fix bugs. They don’t write specs. They don’t write automated test cases. They don’t help keep the automated build system up to date. They don’t help customers work out tough problems. They don’t help write documentation. They don’t help with testing. They don’t even read code. All they do is write new code. In a small ISV, you don’t want any of these people in your company.
