It's almost become a 'sterile' process, and, in many cases, devoid of the innovation that originally fueled everything.<BR/><BR/>I sense there may be a shift on the horizon though... smaller teams, innovation ruling again, coupled with rapid development techniques and reasonable timelines...<BR/><BR/>Or wait... was that just a dream I had?Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07338910000372628114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9922132.post-1142654004700245592006-03-17T22:53:00.000-05:002006-03-17T22:53:00.000-05:00I love those stories of early software development...I love those stories of early software development days. The kids coming up today, even if they're in start-ups, would not have the same experiences. In big corporations, it's a different world with Sarbanes-Oxley, PMBOK and audit holding sway. Don't get me wrong - accountability is important. However, it definitely changes the climate from the days of freewheeling pure innovation.Comfort Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06748708787226855876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9922132.post-1142623913348244092006-03-17T14:31:00.000-05:002006-03-17T14:31:00.000-05:00Bill,It's pretty hard to work for anyone who liste...Bill,<BR/><BR/>It's pretty hard to work for anyone who listens and nods their head, then keeps on doing exactly what they want, regardless of what the agreement might be. <BR/><BR/>Probably a smart idea to leave. It may have been a "this town ain't big enough for the both of us," situation. It's funny how a trait that can be so vital for one phase of doing business can actually be a big liability in other sitautions.Patrick M.
