The bifurcated, consolidated development squad

November 18th, 2007 ·

With the current Ledoux-cup holders missing-in-action (reports put them out in Napa somewhere, strung out over last night’s binge-fest) I’ve grabbed the reins to wrestle this beast of a blog back on track. Perhaps now the writing quality will revert to a respectable average.

Over the night, teams have repositioned themselves. While the legal team (my team) has held fast to the most quiet corner of the room, the development teams and the design teams have consolidated to push HelpHookup out the door.

Interestingly enough, the development team has split into a Rails team and a PHP team. The Rails team is cranking out the Facebook app and expects to finish by midnight launch. The PHP team is not far behind– the lead PHP guy had a case of the Mondays on a Sunday morning (who does that?) and showed up not too long ago. Though, cognizance of the imminent launch has a sobering effect.

Like a well-oiled two-cylinder, the back-to-back development teams are now roaring towards the finish. I’ll check back with them in a couple of hours.
