I agree, that's why I don't work in those types of organizations and don't recommend it. My rule of thumb is this: if technology isn't a major component of what your company "does," you will never be treated with respect by your company as

Every company I've worked at as a software developer or a manager, my managers have been technical. I got to my position by being capable both technically and managerially. If you don't believe that doing what you are told to do is importan

Eating lunch together (whether to talk technology or just to socialize) is huge for building a cohesive team that works together and talks outside of the lunch room. Especially if you don't work with each other directly on a day-to-day basi

Exaggeration and negative campaigns can work in the U.S., but as soon as "hyperbole" starts sounding like "crazy conspiracy theory" Americans tend to shut down. For the majority of Americans (contrary to the loudest voices in the political

I don't think the OP was saying he doesn't know what "job" means, he was saying that they use two terms "task" and "job" that mean the same thing, so he doesn't know what the difference between the trackers are.

I love CL. Absolutely love it. But these sorts of articles (this one is actually quite a few years old) just depress me. It's as if every one who defends CL has to make these sorts of "It's only a flesh wound!" sorts of arguments. With all
