Oh wow, that director definitely made a big mistake... yikes.Up until last year I was an admin in an agile software development team working in a government department. They were brilliant devs who would have earned at least double what they were getting in govt but liked the perks. Their software is rock solid much more so than anything that the previous waterfall teams produced, I have little to no problems reported in their software, no rebooting servers or reseting web sites, manual loading of imports/exports etc. compared to the older methods. Maybe these guys were just really thorough but their stuff is almost bullet proof. The main thing I've had to admin on their old stuff is updating active directory accounts used by the apps which were using shared accounts which should not have been used when a specific service account should have been.
I still admin these apps but the team all took redundancies when offered as the terms were good. The director who did the culling is now severely regretting doing so as the current devs from India are absolute idiots who can't read a requirement sheet without getting it all back to front.
Also they made sure they logged thoroughly so that any problems are easily fixed.
