A little of both would be nice -- for security, plus lots of these scripts have an endless about of cool features that can be added -- and endless issues will come up with how to absorb capacity and keep webmasters happy and content... When I got to LikeWhoa I finally saw how large scale coding projects got executed, and while there I met Dr. Zero a software designer there from Microsoft... I saw how these things get finished. I can't spit out all this code -- that's not my demeanor -- I need to lay this shit down in pencil -- with drawings, graphs, flow-charts, pseudo-code -- shit like that... then let the geeks working for pizza wrastle with the compiler...

See what I'm talking about? Is this industry just too infantine to fund these kind of ideas?
You were at LikeWhoa, eh? So what's the story on the VP of Human Resources?

She nice. She very very nice.
