Technologist Manifesto, or Things Everyone in IT Should Know

After slogging through article after article about watered-down techniques for this, that, and the other, I’m always refreshed when I come across an iconoclastically humorous article.

Take, for instance, this excerpt:

When (not if) a user asks “This sounds like a lot of extra work, how will it make my life easier?” you have an opportunity to evaluate your career progression.

If your answer is something akin to “It’s policy, you have to do it or you’ll get fired.” then I hope you’re drinking your Red Bull from a sippy cup, Junior.

If your answer is more like asking the question “Why is it so hard to use?” then you may be ready for big boy underwear.

Enjoy.
