Well that's wiped out my deeply-held system of belief :o(


I can see his point - for me building sites to absolute standards is a 
challenge that interests me. But my sites can't compare with creating 
something for, say, Nike.

I can see that if you have a project of that size and with that much money 
riding on it, that you sometimes have to say "Oh hell, just make it work, put 
tables in there."


I guess that having stoked up the fire, JZ (it's that a rapper? "Yo, JayZee!") 
now thinks it's time to introduce some counter-arguments into the equation. 
You always need to privide people with an easier route to the top, and this is 
it - it gets people involved and still lets them complete their projects.

From a 'get people into standards' point of view, I think it's a very clever 
set of posts that he's making.
