Yes, but this is what normally happened:
|
|
|
|
Engineer: we can put an input validator/parser on the backend to do
|
|
that.
|
|
|
|
Designer: there's a JavaScript library that can do some of the
|
|
pre-validation.
|
|
|
|
Creative Director: I want it in blue, with a zooming logo.
|
|
|
|
Engineer: can we get to that later, we need to meet functional specs.
|
|
|
|
Creative Director: You *don't* understand. *I* want it in blue.
|
|
|
|
Creative Director: Oh, and the site launches this Friday because I sent
|
|
out a press release about our new strategic partnership with HypeCorp.
|
|
|
|
Designer: fine, we'll just put a list of countries in a drop down.
|
|
|
|
Engineer: and we can validate against that list.
|
|
|
|
Creative Director: I don't give a shit. As long as it's in blue. And
|
|
has a link to my press release.
