Tsk tsk! Lady programmers never write kittycode, and its sexist of you to suggest that they might, therefore 'he' is quite correct.
Besides, if they did, it would be a different synonym ...

I know it looks like I am crapping on his parade (not my intent), but I am correct here from a grammatical point of view, not PC or political or sexism, etc.
Cheers.

Sorry, but use of "he" or "him" or "man" or "men" in abstract context is always gender neutral. Such as "All men are created equal" includes by definition all women. This has been standard English usage for centuries. Only neocon-facist-feminazis want to scrub the use of male-seeming pronouns and adverbs from the language (usually in favor of female words).

Does that mean they want to use "Womanager" instead of "Manager"? That's so wrong!
P.S. "Feminazi" is my new favourite word of the week!

Cool ! and quite appropriate. It fits well for the script kiddies.
I got something added to a few acronym dictionaries recently but it is not KSS.

It's pretty clear at the 1:00 mark that these are remote controlled. I'll be a lot more impressed when these are fully automated.

Yes, just as everything with eight legs now must be called a web developer.

There are always web developers hiding behind every piece of furniture. No big deal here, but I once lived in a place where tarantulas and black widows were quite common. Not to speak of the web developers from Australia...

To my mind an individual is most productive in their own way and in their own time.
What works for one may not work for another. If forced into a niche they may be satisfactory but may not perform at their fullest capacity.

Yes, but...
If the project is big enough, a single person won't be able to develop and/or maintain it.
Because a single person only has so much time and can only know so much.
Also, a single person on a project is a liability for the client, because if something happens to this single person the project could suffer major delay or could even get inaccessible altogether.
So let's assume that you need at least a couple of people on a single project.
And now, what you say, to each their own, is a major problem, because what works for you may not work for me, but we still need to cooperate as a team.
And that's where agile comes in, it's a methodology that, in theory, should make it a lot easier to manage all of these people[^] and make them work together more or less successfully

Quote: a single person on a project is a liability for the client, because if something happens to this single person the project could suffer major delay or could even get inaccessible altogether. I was on a project that was immense in scope with lots of DLLs for each of the supporting elements including one that was a built-in language interpreter, network messaging (pre-internet) another to make automated telephone calls, another set of DLLS, each for a different terminal emulation, etc.
Thousands of lines of code with just me, at one point, to support it all! I had probably written a good 50% of it myself.
My boss, the company owner, president, CEO and general tyrant had a $1,000,000 "key employee" insurance on me which I only found out about when the company accountant complained how much it cost after he increased it to $2,000,000 for subsequent years. My code brought in several million dollars to the company so I was safe from being murdered for the insurance for a while at least!
