From the article: "The management world has tried to develop software engineering processes that allow people to be plugged into them like interchangeable components. < . . . > To my mind, the hallmark of the interchangeable component model of software engineers is Java." I hate that attitude in management. I've been surprised to find that at higher levels (think C-level) of management leaders who completely don't think of engineers as plug-and-play. I wonder if it is an attitude or viewpoint more common in lower level management in large organizations. Regardless, I kind of gave up on Java simply because I felt it seemed to get me into environments where people were treated as cogs.
