If things go well, you get stuff into production, no problems, it is assumed that the whole thing was the work of brilliant programmers who just wrote the code, flipped a switch and it worked great......if something goes wrong "why did you guys foul up?"...just like parts, if you order a part, gets to you okay, you shrug your shoulders...if it doesn't go smooth, well, whoever is on the other end is an idiot *lol*.
So true... and the people who do it (analysts, programmers, and testers) are disposable, interchangeable parts, and experience is not valued. Don't ask me how I know this.
