After spending the month of January yelling at anybody who would listen that The Process™ is not working
(and that list includes my new manager and a Corporate Overlord Vice President,
who is now listening in on our daily scrum meetings due to some disasterous deployments last year when the
Corporate Overlords pretty much took over our department when our previous previous manager retired).
It's been made clear
(not in a bad way—I wasn't disciplined nor had to talk to HR about my concerns)
that The Process is The Process and upper management is perfectly fine with our current course.
And I'm finally coming to accept the things I cannot change,
that I told upper management of my concerns
(several times)
so I did what I could.
I think I'm finally accepting the fact that I am now doing “enterprise development,”
which includes “Agile developement” and seven weekly departmental meetings
(down from eleven—seriously!).
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
