Re:Testing architecture and design

If you know your algorithms you can do whatever the fuck you want in informatics (or computer science if you like that term better). All that mambo jumbo about teamwork, architecture and design is something to make people who can't code feel like they know something. I know this sounds like a troll but that's how I feel about this subject.
