Huh, I had a different reaction, I think his conclusion is: Technical correctness isn't enough, the enterprise is a social organism and you need to get people on board to come with you seeing how it will achieve their own goals and include them, and that's the lesson I learned from this experience.
- darkerside 5y agoYes, and I agree with that conclusion. But your comment demonstrates an empathy and understanding that the blog post did not. I don't think it was quite a rant, but it had that "I was right" tone to it the whole time. An awkward fit with the lessons learned at the end, and coincidentally, another possible explanation for why things went so off the rails.
- mbrodersen 5y agoNot how I read it at all. To me it reads like a story of somebody thinking he is doing the right thing only later realising that it doesn’t matter if you don’t get buy in from the people who have the real power in the enterprise.
