Locusts and Rats
Thank you for your emails and messages of support, following on from my last video. I can tell you that my inbox has been FLOODED with web developers who have told me that they too have encountered the same challenges that I have - with regards to having their livelihoods attacked by infestations of locusts and rats. ONCE AGAIN, it's an exclusive story that NOBODY ELSE IS TALKING ABOUT and it's challenge that is ruining web development, particularly for the dumb clients who think it's a good idea to sneak around in the shadows like rats. I encourage all my subscribers to let your clients see THIS video. Talk about the problem BEFORE it happens. Let your clients know how you feel. Let them know that you INSIST upon being a participant in any conversations that involving having another IT professional review your work. As for the rats - or the would be rats. My message to you is clear: Yes, it IS your site and it's a free market. You can hire whomever you like and that's a beautiful thing. Long may that continue. However, sneaking around having other IT professionals discuss work that was performed by a developer WITHOUT the developer knowing or being present is utterly sneaky and unethical. Forgive me for being the breaker of bad news but when you behave like sneaky little rat, you're not being intelligent or unique and you're certainly not behaving in an interesting manner. All you're doing is behaving like a rat. This video is an opportunity for you to NOT be a rat. I'm carefully outlining why developers are being put in an IMPOSSIBLE POSITION by the locusts. The competence of the developer is utterly irrelevant because the locusts are hidden and they work in the shadows without giving the developer an opportunity to respond to covert, unethical critiques. Yes, it's possible that your developer is doing a bad job. It's possible that you've been stuck with the worst developer in the world. If that's the case, let the developer have a fair opportunity to defend their work in front of the locusts and with full transparency. Anything less is hereby declared unethical. DO NOT BE A LOCUST. DO NOT BE A RAT. TO THE DEVELOPERS ...IF YOUR CLIENT STARTS BEHAVING LIKE A RAT, STOP WORKING FOR THEM. Rejoice. The Web Developer Extraordinaire has spoken.
