This guy is decrying a bunch of hucksters selling buzzwords to corporate managers with more money than sense. What's his solution?
> If I were king, I would prefer to see a methodology using the (ISC)2 recommended practices in the SDLC, and the emerging OWASP practices, with more certifications like the CSSLP.
The author apparently calls himself an "Enterprise Architecture Evangelist MSEA BSEE CEA³ CISSP-ISSAP PMP ITIL"
I've got to chuckle. What does any of this even mean? And what does it have to do with writing good software?
- buckbova 11y agoWhat is CEA³? edit: Perhaps it is a certified enterprise architect "black belt" such and such from: https://www.feacinstitute.org/feac-courses https://www.feacinstitute.org/feac-courses Looks like all you need is 11K and 14-16 hours: http://www.tomsitpro.com/articles/enterprise-architect-certifications,2-640-6.html http://www.tomsitpro.com/articles/enterprise-architect-certi...
- meddlepal 11y agoI think all those letters are meant to test whether you can read letters or not. An eye chart if you will. It has nothing do with writing good software. I've seen these sprinkled about on titles before and I've just rolled my eyes in the past and will continue to do so in the future.
- andor 11y agoHe's either a troll or lacks reading comprehension. The first article he links to is well summarized by this paragraph: "And, unfortunately, I think time has proven me right. The word “agile” has been subverted to the point where it is effectively meaningless, and what passes for an agile community seems to be largely an arena for consultants and vendors to hawk services and products." (https://pragdave.me/blog/2014/03/04/time-to-kill-agile/ https://pragdave.me/blog/2014/03/04/time-to-kill-agile/) "Doing the right thing at any time" is still a perfectly valid principle, though.

- aivosha 11y agoWhy would anybody assume they'd be taken seriously on HN when they have _that_ as part of their title? It doesnt even rhyme.
- EpicEng 11y agoDon't forget TOGAF! No 'Enterprise Architect's" resume is complete without a little TOGAF!

- PopsiclePete 11y agoWell, I'm sure he could explain it all to you. If you take his 4-day course, of course. Seating is limited. Reserve your spot for a paltry fee of $5000. And the best part is, you can access his slides later. Through an OWASP and OASIS-approved highly-scalable and enterprise-y SOAP API which is extremely easy to consume, as long as you use his Enterprise Scalability Patterns Application Block (it's well-documnented in his 890-page book, which is a must-buy).
