The thing is that new people with very good ideas often need someone to give them
some "working space". In other words "they don't have the big cash yet".
I try to work with some of those people. And yes, many do fail completely.

zero.
So he's on the zero list.
I only have two list :

When people fuck their programmer they are only fucking themselves for the future.
The only thing dumber than fucking with the programmer is fucking with the billing company.
