Yea. I'm not saying they don't get to make decisions. I'm just complaining
about it. In my current company we have been lucky and been able to make
the technical decisions for the sites that we host and we make every effort to
gain their trust so that they won't feel it necessary to question our decisions.
For the sites that we do not host this isn't as big an issue since we only
have to make the application stable, we don't have to keep the machine
running.
I've had difficulty with financial and marketing staff making technical
decisions at companies I've worked for previously and it isn't pretty. (I can
still hear those poor hard drives swapping furiously on the underpowered
Windows "servers".)
