Ask Slashdot: What Are Some Hard Truths IT Must Learn To Accept? (cio.com)
snydeq writes: "The rise of shadow IT, shortcomings in the cloud, security breaches -- IT leadership is all about navigating hurdles and deficiencies, and learning to adapt to inevitable setbacks," writes Dan Tynan in an article on six hard truths IT must learn to accept. "It can be hard to admit that you've lost control over how your organization deploys technology, or that your network is porous and your code poorly written. Or no matter how much bandwidth you've budgeted for, it never quite seems to be enough, and that despite its bright promise, the cloud isn't the best solution for everything." What are some hard truths your organization has been dealing with? Tynan writes about how the idea of engineering teams sticking a server in a closet and using it to run their own skunkworks has become more open; how an organization can't do everything in the cloud, contrasting the 40 percent of CIOs surveyed by Gartner six years ago who believed they'd be running most of their IT operations in the cloud by now; and how your organization should assume from the get-go that your environment has already been compromised and design a security plan around that. Can you think of any other hard truths IT must learn to accept?
most developers these days couldn't develop themselves out of a "hello world" problem.
hello world is easy: just do serverless micro-services with an api in the cloud and docker-compose machine learning using babeljs. The only tough part is picking the right spotify playlist while you code your brains out on that macbook.
lucm, indeed.
...the reason you stand for a meeting is to keep it short by making it physically uncomfortable for the participants. Standing is actually doing exactly what you want: reducing meeting time.
Then why not reduce meeting time further, by making it more physically uncomfortable? Set fire to anyone who shows up.
I'm sure those blog posts from 2008 are fascinating, but when I see someone plugging twice his own blog in a Slashdot comment, it's an immediate SEO red flag.
This led me to google "Bruce F. Webster", and wow, dude did you really create your own Wikipedia entry using your own blog as source?
There's nothing in your bio that even remotely justify a wikipedia article, that's more like a LinkedIn profile.

if I wasn't a lazy bastard I'd edit your page to flag it as a WP:PROMO.
