That's a good one.
 
That explains a few things about the dev team I work with from time to time. I'll remember to have some of our team members secure the doors and windows next time we go to talk to them.

Everyone wants jobs and money but tries to avoid working too much. Others boast about their abilities then play hide-and-seek games. Many are pathological liars with hard-to-detect logical fallacies etc. So I understand somewhat the feelings of investors when they have to deal with stuff like this. But whatever field I enter, I'd definitely be a fool if I have no real experience in it, no relationships or friends and kind helpers everywhere.
