A Slashdot thread is debating "what happened to the IT profession? We used to get The New Toys, now it's all drudgework for MBAs'"
One response:
Ain't that the truth. When I first started work here, I thought it'd be really exciting, a way to be part of something big. But every day, it's just the same, "Where's my Death Ray command server?" this, "My patience grows thin!" that, "If I don't have my Death Ray command server up by midnight, I shall unleash my pretties upon you!", and on and on. Well, gee, Mr. Big Shot, perhaps if you didn't build the server room deep inside a freaking ACTIVE VOLCANO, perhaps we wouldn't have so many overheating issues.
There's just no respect in this industry.
Yup yup yup. What he said.
