   Nice take on the job aspect of work life.:) Yeah, sometimes its hard to think of oneself as a complete mercenary. :( But there is another aspect too, like if we can plan and buy some financial freedom we can pursue other creative fulfilli

    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 hav

    I work for a so called big MNC, and I see "the agile problem" everyday. This typically happens because someone higher up decided to bring in a hot buzzword into the company with utter disregard to the impact it would cause to the

    True, also the industry prefers younger population coz they can burn more hours and are available for a cheaper than the experienced folks. Also, the industry somehow seems to stereotype a developer as some younger geeks. The stereotype wor

    If we had a sane choice we would still stick to tech - tech is like the first love that is going through a rocky phase! I believe there is the "collective stupidity" problem in the tech industry where a new framework pops up almos
