Another truth worth considering is that history will repeat itself. We've seen the pendulum swing from centralized computing in the original monolithic computing machines to decentralized with the advent of personal PCs, back to centralized with hosted services and cloud computing. Development paradigms rise, shift, fall, and are reborn in a new framework. It would benefit all IT professionals to read up on the history of computing because we're definitley going to be seeing the same concepts repackaged under new names and models again in the future.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing or that's the way we did it before.

Drink deep or drink not

My first impression was of how our man went from Enterprise IT, to IT -- with attendant, founding preoccupation about "truth" -- and then back to narrower Enterprise IT. Slipped the General Solution in with nary a sign but with sleight of a writer's hand.

You are entitled, as far as I am concerned, to dispense with your, "etu".

Maxwell does it all the time without notice. Used to bother me, in my constrained olden days. But, not anymore. Just means I have to stay on top of him. 'Cause, I do it, too. Just means you have to stay on top of me.

Staying on top of you is instructive.

that I'm instructive until I'm not.
