Yep. There are way too many Power Point Rangers and Six Sigma Astronauts in that bunch, however. It's tough finding a good label. The key here is that software is everything. It's not just an add-on to some orthogonal business model. Any more, software is the business. The tech skills are just as important as the rest of it. Most companies today are like a group of medieval princes whose job is to correspond with other princes -- but none of them can read or write. They kind of know what they want, but for whatever reason, they feel that it's beneath their dignity to actually make it happen. The way we treat development? It's as if we were to start hiring people to write our emails for us. And then complain at how correspondence is always so difficult. Sorry for the rant. Thanks for the chat!
