The last 20% tends to be harder and take longer than the first 80%. Where are the developers from the first 80%?

Not the way that I develop. Usually I leave the last 20% for stuff that may actually be rather easy, but just isn't within my expertise or I'm not qualified to do. For example, I may save polishing the design, graphics, copywriting, publicity, and legal for the end since I can just contract most of that out anyway.

It stands for "rupert murdoch sucks." It is an intentional coincidence that it is the same initials as the real rms.

It's confusing, at best, to view yourself in opposition to another human being. You've had an account on here for 369 days and still are comfortable viewing yourself in terms of what you're not. I'm NOT Rupert Murdoch --- 'cause he SUCKS! It just seems a little... silly.

Yes, it is a joke.

There is a problem with this. All developers are not created equally. It may take me 100 hours to complete a task a more capable programmer only needs 5 to do. In such a situation, I'd acrue more value than the next 3 closest developers.

What is your problem?

I was attempting to point out that this post has all the qualities of spam. It's vague, it uses symbol repitition ($$$), non-standard abbreviations (opp), and seems like a scam.

Reads more like a troll than spam, I think.

I always meant to ask you what it meant. You don't like his comedy "news" channel? It's great if you're into propaganda parodies.

It's an unintentional parody, which makes it all the more entertaining!
