>Ive just begun a short term dev contract

Who hired you? Have you spoken to that person?

>I was talking to one of our devs recently

He or she isn't your dev, they are your clients. You are a temp.



> Who hired you? Have you spoken to that person?

Its a little awkward, the chain of command is a little ad-hoc. So lets say the person who hired me is one of these execs. They were quite excited to hear about my knowledge of security which was dampened when they realised I was more talking about auth and securing endpoints as opposed to smth like DRM.

that particular detail is intentional noise. So sadly that advice doesn't apply.

Like I said, the attitude is so pervasive that I worry that it will interfere with the successful delivery of the product. That part, regardless of the noise remains pertinent.
