I sent my message because I saw the exact things happen that they
tell us not to do at work.
Daniel sums some of them up, no need for me to go into that.
Another one I think I saw was a team built completely out of
software engineers, and no release managers. The latter are
a different breed of people, they need to be able to talk,
not write code.
