A developer and their team were either incompetent or were willfully so when it came to completing their tasks for a project lead. When she stopped picking up the pieces for them, suddenly the project was revealed to be exactly that: pieces. I'm pretty sure but not entirely positive that there's some kind of programming happening here. Still, I'm less sure that whatever it is that they're doing constitutes the title of ‘developer.’ If someone could please let me know what these people are even…
