Satyam's a perfect example of a firm that won't even show you their bug tracking logs for their software development.

But it's okay, Satyam is a CMM level 5 shop!

I can't believe some of what has gone on around our industry lately. We have the only industry that the project manager and project oversight people don't have to have any actual knowledge of the work they're managing/overseeing.

The foreman of a major construction project has to know all about building techniques. The inspector has to be an expert on all technologies involved. Yet with software, the 'foreman' and the 'inspectors' typically have no actual development knowledge .

We have Chief Technical Officers who aren't technical. Chief Information Officers who have no information.

WTF did you think would be the likely consequence of putting cheap PCs and free software tools in the hands of Third World countries?!? They're going to compete and, based on the labor differential, it's a given that they're going to take work away from our fellow Americans. This isn't rocket science. You guys nyuk-nyuk-nyuked the whole open source movement and then stand dumbstruck over what it has produced. Clue, meet Harr and Danger.
