The older ones that cannot adapt will be plowed under. That's the way it's been with business generally, and IT now contributes to that evolution.<BR/><BR/>-PatrickPatrick Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02088461489050417591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655567.post-55900684548320244582007-10-11T19:30:00.000-07:002007-10-11T19:30:00.000-07:00Alas, I am more cynical.

I believe the situation will continue to get worse until it asymptotically reaches the point where only the barest minimum of non-maintenance work gets funded. Over time I expect the departure from IT of the best and brightest to continue, if not accelerate, until there is no longer anyone on staff to do anything <I>but</I> maintenance.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm just too exhausted to see otherwise, but I can't see there being a clue-by-four big enough to change the priorities for the enclosing organizations. My experience with corporate IT is too similar to my experience with government work to expect anything but a festering morass of bureaucratic sloth from either of them. It has nothing to do with the individuals involved; it's the payoffs for the organization. Just like no one ever lost their job for buying IBM, I haven't heard of anyone losing their job for <I>not</I> spending on infrastructure.<BR/><BR/>I hope I'm wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
