I would steer your attention to Fred Brooks' wonderful book, _The Mythical Man-Month_.  If a small team is capable of doing the work, you *should* have a small team, because you waste less time in intra-team communication and spend more time doing the work.

Naw, that's too harsh.  Just send those bottles of Scotch to me, until you've atoned for your software engineering sins.  I'll let you know when that is...

Ronni is a programer.  She writes code for AH.  How can she write code for AH, if she doesn't know how the code for AH works.  Oh wait, let me take a shot at this one, she does.  :)

Mandoble just wishes he had someone at HTC that would see things his way.

To be fair to Mandoble (with whom I frequently disagree and sometimes can't understand) I know what he was trying to say.  I don't think it was necessarily intended to be an insult, though it is easy to see how it might be taken that way. Cut him a little slack.

I agree Kieran. I dont know how much of his post was sideways whineing about the 109k but I dont think he had any intention of insulting anyone are HTC.
Maybe when HT has to take 10 months off to write AH 2.0 another hand will be needed to back up Ronni.

When it comes to taking his posts as insults, Mandy has made his bed, now he's got to lie in it. Almost anyone could have posted this in here and not gotten much flack. But because of his history of contentious posts, Mandoble is stuck with the consequences of his reputation.

Indeed, now Mandoble knows how Joan or Arc felt :rolleyes:

It'a legitimate concern, but not something that is any of our business.


This is how I read the original statement as well.  Poor MANDOBLE may have dug himself into a deap hole before he even had a clue what he was actually saying.
Anyway, I'm going to assume that his intentions were not all that bad and he just did a poor job of expressing himself in his second language.

This thread is just like:

A: Hey B, beware, this room is dark and there are holes in the floor.
B: ARE U CALLING ME STUPID??? RETARDED! I KNOW THERE ARE HOLES AND I HAVE SOME TOOLS FOR THE MATTER!!

Frankly pathetic, but typical ...

Desired, but utopical version:
A: Hey B, beware, this room is dark and there are holes in the floor.
B: Dont worry A, I have a torch with me, but thanks anyway.
