Very true - we are treated like a replaceable cog. We all have a craving to feel important. But i think i personally dislike the language in the industry - resource. I am a human being for god's sake not a 'resource'. I have feelings and emotions and i wanna feel like a human,not a number. Also, i noticed non-tech people seem to be into management - they simply dont understand software. This causes part of the frustration. They seem to think, you can replace one person with another and the machinery would work fine - it wont. on top of it, they are the one planning unreasonable timelines too.
- cholantesh 10y agoResource/resourcing seems to be verbiage employed in corporate circles in general, and yeah, it makes me wince. Practically every non-technologist that I know is baffled that I don't want to go into management. There are exceptions - as I work in finance, I get to talk to many analysts and portfolio managers. Everyone else though...it seems like if you view being a technologist as anything other than a means to an end - the end being some form of management - you lack ambition or are content to be a grunt.
