Go to Post At IRI you have 72 of the best teams in the country. It could literally be held in a cornfield in the middle of Indiana and nobody would care, because the competition is simply that good. - Cory [more]

Re: Should a programmer be a driver too?

Great feedback, thanks! My one concern is that our drivers are usually busy with strategy meetings, driver meetings, and of course being in queue and on the field. Normally our programmer works on the code during those events changing what the drivers have requested. How do you do both jobs simultaneously? I'm open to the possibility (that's why I asked), just want to know about how to handle the dual-responsibility. The programmer is really the only team member who knows the code well enough to make changes... just makes me nervous to stretch anyone too thin?

Thanks!
