they know what
to do on
their own (which seems unlikely), you must give direction.

to manage
these people?
tell
them what
to do etc?"
benkay: i eventually lost my cool and said "yeah. you have
to manage
them. if you have such a
tightly limited budget
that you can only afford one human and not
the additional
team bandwidth
to
train
that human, your entire management philosophy is borked."

to do
the work, and oh no, never bothered
to implement a
training plan

to be relatively incompetent except for being able
to make friends with moderately-competent humans, put
them in a room and let
them self-organize into a software development
team

the father grows accustomed
to descend
to
the level of his sons and
to fear
them, and
the son is on a level with his father, he having no respect or reverence for either of his parents; and
this is his freedom, and
the metic is equal with
the citizen and
the citizen with
the metic, and
mircea_popescu: get back
to me when any of
the "concerned" parties matches
the data, i might care.
