Paperwork

After being on the ADVANCED DIPLOMA IN IT for three months, I have come to the conclusion that 97% of an IT specialists job involves using Word to create various documents. Now, I have no personal experience as an IT professional, but I find it hard to believe that building a website for a living involves 20 documents.

Can anyone prove to me that to build a simple little website, 6 design documents must be created showing exactly what will go where? Or how about a document showing how you've checked each and every link, image, video and piece of text for 56 different times?

I may be wrong... but seriously, is my boss going to want to know how I tried 7 times to "cross-reference databases 6 and 14 while trying to get a readable output"? NO. All they're going to want to know is WHETHER OR NOT THE DAMNED THING WORKS NOW.

This simple diagram may explain better:



See? Boss doesn't care if I had to debug everything! It works. End of!
