PITA

Dave Thomas: I think every team of a certain size needs a professional pain in the ass, because teams get complacent, fixed in their ways. They need nudging out of their comfort zone once in a while, so they can look at problems from a different perspective. There are two kinds of pains in the ass: the obnoxious boor - to be avoided on all teams - and the person who never learned that grownups shouldn't ask "Why?" all the time. The latter is a treasure.

Agreed.
