What if I don't want a "fast-paced" environment? "fast-paced" is usually a euphemism for "We write crappy code because management doesn't know what they want and won't plan ahead. As a result our spaghetti code has metastasized to the point where we have no idea what's in it, what it really does or how to make it do what management wants this week. But it doesn't matter because next week management will want something else. Since you'll be the new hire, everything will be your fault and we'll expect you to fix it instantaneously if not faster." -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
