    Software dev here. I once quoted a single line change to my manager. And the client was billed for 3 weeks. I understand that there’s a support structure involved. But 1 line to 3 weeks??!? Tech consultancy is a sham.

    The people who negotiate your medical claims make more money on the settlement commissions than the doctors even make from their procedures.

    And there’s like 25-40 people total who handle the claims for every single health insurance company.

    Health insurance company I worked for would automatically reject claims over a certain amount without reviewing them. Just to be dicks and make people have to resubmit. This was over 25 years ago, but it’s my understanding many health insurers still pull this shit. They don’t care if it’s legal or not. Enforcement is lazy and fines are cheaper than medical claims.

    Obviously this is in the USA.

    The programming team that is working hard on your project is just one dude and he smells funny. The programming team you’ve met in your introductory meeting are just the two unpaid interns that will be fired or will quit within the next two months and don’t know what’s happening. We don’t do agile despite advertising it. Also your project being a priority means it’ll be slapped together from start to finish 24 hours prior to the deadline. Oh and there will be extra charges to fix anything that doesn’t work as it should.

      When you have a great programmer working on your project he will be cycled to a new project in 2-3 months. Your new senior developer who silently takes over the project is part time because he’s working on finishing his education.

      No one knows how anything works, except that one guy, who left the company half a year ago. That’s how all software development is.
