No budget... Lamest reason of all...
-
As a developer, what could be worst than depriving the necessary tools to use just because of some stupid reason, like "no budget"(Company is a big one)? My company has 3 developers including me and they only purchased 2 license of Exceed. Now i am quite stuck with some bug which i am unable to debug/trace. :mad: Weiye Chen Life is hard, yet we are made of flesh...

Can you load utility on a community box, so each dev can use it as needed? BW
All the chickens get it.
And them singing canaries get it.
Even strawberries get it. -
If the company budget is so tight that they won't buy enough copies of the developer tools, what makes you think they will pay you to develop them yourself? Or do you think you should develop them on your own time, and give them to the company for free? :~

Actually, not purchasing the tool for an employee while doing so for other employees could be indicative of something else...

Many are DoD. When you estimate you allocate money for materials and man-hours. There is a wonderful formula for allocation of said percentages by classification of work, and it is possible to get an allocation of man-hours with almost no materials because they do not classify it the same as you might. Thus you might find yourself spending 400 hours writing something that should have been bought for $400, but cannot be because of how someone arranged the original contract (and no one here makes $1 an hour). _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.
