The 'attack' word is again a manifestation of extreme political correctness.
I will argue that these technologies with their inherent complexity are creating huge bureaucracies to attract and hide unqualified/unskilled/uncommited/... aka 'stupid' people from scrutiny. These environments have the perverse effect of encouraging people not to think too much at least not publicly because of that political correctness pushed to the limit. 'You are not a team player, blablablalbla...'. 'Stupidity' is not off topic here, not at all. It's been a plague for two decades in this industry as soon as demand increased for sotfware. It started to attract people mid 80s because of the promise to get a well paid job. Not because they had above average skills or had a keen interest in it. 'I do not need to understand technology, I'll be a manager in three years'. This a real quote from a colleague when I was quite green. Meanwhile HR replaced know-how by worthless tags (add water to this pouch and you will get a Java/Ruby/... asset) and processes hoping to use a Taylor approach to creativity like if we were building cars on an assembly line. Some would argue that without this enterprise mass market, we would not have the technology we have at hand these days. True. The industry has been recycling old concepts for 30 years branding them as new. Huge costs with incremental changes. This mitigated success is limited by this assembly line model. And unlike a car plant, it cannot be robotized. You need to change wetware... Hence the 'stupidity' factor discussion. Now if the anonymity thing bugs you, I can bring forward explicit names in this thread with the failing projects, budget, ..., just let me pull my notes here... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
