Owner hired an extremely “senior” developer. Was told to let him do his thing.

After he spent 3 months building a web app, I asked him how he wanted to deploy it.

Perfectly straight face he said we would take his developer machine to a local data center and plug it in. We could then buy him a new developer machine. It went downhill from there.

I ended up writing the application from scratch and deploying it that same evening.

Owner hired a lot Of strange people.
