Project Managers Do Us All A Favor And MANAGE!

Teach, Listen, SUPPORT! One of the biggest problems I’ve seen in the decade and some change I’ve been freelance consulting accessibility and efficiency is an utter, total, and complete lack of leadership skills amongs so-called “senior” developers and “project managers”.

<DIALOG> — Or At Least How People Use It — Is DUMBASS!
