IT was once viewed as a back-office function, filled with disgruntled, reserved workers, but the view of the IT role and worker is changing, and it's showing in IT job satisfaction levels. "So happy together"

'Break up Google and Facebook if you ever want innovation again' I think I may have seen this movie before

So that explains why I've been struggling to innovate at my job. It's worse than that! The other day I couldn't decide what to make for dinner--damn Google and Facebook.

There have always been "wow that's fast!" computers, but we didn't start calling them supercomputers until 1964. From "Whoa!" to "Too slow!" in record time
And looking at Seymour Cray's suit in that article really makes me believe the stories I read about the tunnels (and elves)

The act of nodding positively affects the subjective likability of people by about 30 percent and their approachability by 40 percent, according to a study. So that's why people come into my cube when I'm trying to fall asleep

We break down why understanding the current maturity of DevOps leads to successful implementation. What?! Executives overestimating a new methodology? What is this world coming to?

All executives hear is, "blah, blah, blah, blah, you can hire fewer people, blah, blah, blah..."

Exactly. The definition of an executive: a person who underestimates the actual complexity of a task and who overestimates the ability of some newfangled methodology to reduce that complexity.
Makes me wonder how they actually manage to do #2.

I've met some wonderful execs over the years in some of the largest companies in their field. The great people. Smart. And so on. The problem is communication. People in tech never talk to execs like people. Everyone is afraid. Nobody talks. They're not technical. That's why they hire tech people or the PMs that will in turn hire tech people.
Once you see it from the execs side, you start to realize just how much technical people don't really communicate. I'm not saying every exec is perfect, but they can't work with what they don't know. In other words, if they mis-estimate something, then look inwards at how well the communication is or isn't.
