What Gartner Is Telling Your Boss

Littlewink writes, "Esther Schindler's latest analysis reveals what Gartner is telling your boss at their annual conference. Excerpts: '"The future of application development is not about programmer productivity," said [Gartner analyst] Hoyle during the keynote presentation, "but in assembling functionality from components." [Gartner analyst] Veccio stated "Why would you ever code an app from scratch again? Why would you need to?"' According to Schindler (who does not 'drink the Kool-Aid'), Gartner urges managers to consider better process control and governance, managing 'application portfolios' much as they do stock portfolios. Part of this discipline is 'killing development projects early and often.'"

Re:Your boss is just an object

In the real world, there are two ways to get rewarded

1 - Do real work
2 - Lie

Because doing things worth being rewarded for is actually difficult, you can often get better rewards and more often, simply by talking people into giving them to you, rather than doing any real work.

And in the process become a phone-flipping lying rat fuck ass-molded hairpiece. Congratulations.
