Why does every thread have to descend in to mindless racism. It makes me glum

Everything makes you glum.

I’m not sure that talking about IBM in such a manner is racist.

Anyway it’s the poor ITSM support sods I feel sorry for.

Yet another project toss over feck up.

Looks like some front end problems with their JavaScript/AJAX
A twitter user a few minutes ago ..

"Are @TSB developers seriously coding live changes in production? I've found loads of ugly debugging logs in the code which are being spat out in the browser console. I don't dare to imagine what mess they have in the back-end. #TSB #tsbdown"




Oh for the old, simpler, Halcyon days of waterfall - not a StickyNote in sight and scrum was but a weekend pastime ..

1. System and software requirements: captured in a product requirements document
2. Analysis: resulting in models, schema, and business rules
3. Design: resulting in the software architecture
4. Coding: the development, proving, and integration of software
5. Testing: the systematic discovery and debugging of defects
6. Operations: the installation, migration, support, and maintenance of complete systems

and the third level engineers trying to explain, patiently, that spotty, pizza munching applications developers cock ups are NOT their problem.
I'm SURE the infrastructure is perfect

Agile is fine when you are iterating around low process ux things and trying to find how customers would use your service.

As soon as that service becomes live and people who are not in your employment rely on it it needs to work 99.9999999% of the time.

Life's not fair

I've done these big migrations more than once (with absolutely no problems or overruns needless to say ). You just run a series of full-scale rehearsals until the exception rate is manageable in the allotted go-live timescale.

I just can't understand how they could make such a cock-up. You'd have to try hard to be so utterly incompetent.

I bet there's some contractor on £1500-a-day in charge, looking suitably gravitas-full and flooding in-boxes with powerpoints, never for one minute thinking how massively he/she has personally failed.

And you know what, they'll walk straight into another highly paid role; straight into another disaster.
