Jay Martin says

<<But, they have no idea in the world about how the work should get done
(otherwise, they'd be doing it themselves), so they try and inflict this
"process" which they've read about in magazines and seminars.... all
probably written/run by people who haven't ever written a line of code in
their lives.  And they think if this process is followed, then they can
feel secure in the fact that our product will be correct.  Instead, it
brings our overhead right back up to those of the big companies.  It
increases the life cycle, increases the cost... and depresses us coders.>>

Maybe we could entitle this the "hackers lament". Personally I would not
touch with a ten foot barge pole any organization whose programmers had
this attitude, sounds like SEI maturity level -1 at work :-)
