Anyone else fed up with trying to keep up with all the stuff coming out every day in this crazy IT world <insert one of a million acronyms here> ???
At one company I worked for we kept a list of all the technologies/acronyms we were using on a single web project. After we ran off the end of a page we gave up. And that was several years ago.
Amongst the biggest issues I have with all the new technologies being thrust upon us all the time is that there's very rarely any real chance to get to know them, experiment, etc. to the degree necessary to be actually able to evaluate, separate the wheat from the chaff, integrate them into an existing envronment (when it's even practical to do so), etc.
It seems like given an appropriate amount of time to deal with the AWAH (Acronyms We Already Have) that considerably more robust, automagically documenting, blah blah blah systems could be built. Instead we have to spend all our time putting out fires, using technologies "half-way," etc. At least that's what I find _my_self doing more often than I'd prefer.
I can't play an instrument or sing, but maybe it's not too late to become a rock star at 35? I want to join a ska band.
Actually, not being able to play an instrument or sing is stands you in quite good stead for joining a ska band.
