Schedule meetings every 2 hours, just so that the programmer never gets any flow going. Then ask in the meetings why there isn't any progress.

Better yet: Call every two hours (sometimes less), and try to get the programmer to fix a very small issue you are having. Then bitch about the code not being done. Oh, and have the programmer admin the servers. Server goes down? ick between getting shit about the server or shit about the code. Thx Zeus I'm not there any more.

Oh, server admin. That's a good one. After all, how hard can that be? You set it up and it just runs, right?
