A day late and a dollar short ...

[Indeependent]

You are just a talentless cog in the wheel filling a Fantasy Based Excel Spread sheet.
You know what I'd just LOVE you to do...
Outline what you do for a living.
Because I bet you simply "match" the next Indian in the Business Visa Queue by clicking "Yes" next to the 1,000 skills "required" for the job.

Your wish is granted. I own a business with ten employees. I also work in management consulting, I take management consulting contracts. I just spent most of the last year in the Netherlands, which is why I was posting largely in the middle of the night. I've also owned a couple other businesses and spent my career in management and management consulting at companies including GE (including GE Nuclear, GE Energy Services, GE Consumer Finance, GE Capital, GE Information Services). I've also worked for companies such as Booz Allen, Fidelity Investments, Cisco, American Express, TJX and others.

I did nothing but outsource jobs at GE Consumer Finance. I ran a bunch of projects to offshore various IT jobs to India.

So you badger people for a living...OK.

I'm management, I do whatever it takes

I know how much management accomplishes.
Good money for doing nothing.
You ARE a capitalist for sure.

If you say so, obviously management isn't necessary. Workers manage themselves, don't they, comrade?

Workers who work with hands on business analysts and hands on administrative staff achieve far more than professional managers.

I worked with Andersen and Ernst and Young and nothing ever got put into production.

So let's look at what happens in the REAL world...
Software engineer or Applications Developer is interviewed in excess of 10 hours.
The human interviewed by the Managing Director, CIO and even CEO as well as head DBA, Project Manager and Project Leader.
The CEO, CIO and Managing Director howl to the skies about loyalty and reward for "hard work" and a job well done.
The Developer accepts the position and develops an automated system in less than a year that brings in tens of millions of dollars.
The Developer has a developed Fourth Form Normalized RDB, receives feeds from other systems as well as feeding other system.
The System has all the bells and in whistles in it's infrastructure before the Business Logic kicks in.
The Developer has analyzed, designed and created Forms, Reports, Batch Processes and God knows what else that YOU, or any OTHER Manager, will NEVER be able to accomplish.

THEN the CEO decides it's time to bring in the Cheap Labor.
And that's where YOU, the capitalist comes in.
YOU are part and parcel of the BIG LIE about "loyalty and reward for "hard work" and a job well done."

And you call me a Marxist?
What does that make you?
Simple...a lying scumbag that can't admit you're a scumbag.
I'd have some respect for you if you simply admit you...do next to nothing for a living and...facilitate a fundamental lie within unfettered Capitalism...That accomplishment does not result in treachery.

But he pandered to them though. He ushered in the rise of the religious far right in the Republican party.

I suppose no one knows better than you do if you're a loser that anyone important shouldn't waste their time on

One thing I have learned in my 1600 posts of Bullshit that you haven't learned in your 34000 posts of Bullshit.

This is the internet. You can be whatever you want to be. And people lie about what they are. All the time. Ever notice that ALL the high post count right winger people are super successful. So they say.

If you were the manager you CLAIM to be, you would know that.

And as one liar famously said; you don't know what you don't know. So quit acting like you do or can.

Assuming things like you do makes you sound stupid.

Cruz has argued cases before the Supreme Court a number of times and won.

Cruz lost most of the time.

I don't think someone ignorant of the Constitution and case law would be allowed to appear before the court.

Since he has lost most of the time, you must admit he is ignorant of the Constitution.


One was a Medicaid case, which he lost horribly. The Supremes ruled against him unanimously.

One was a sentencing case, which he also lost.

One was a death sentence case against an illegal immigrant. Cruz wanted him executed, Bush didn't. Cruz won, and this is the case he brags about on the campaign trail. He's quite pleased with himself he got to kill an illegal immigrant.

He lost four other death penalty cases.

One case was about the legality of Texas redistricting, which Cruz argued was legal. The Supremes decided one district needed to be redone.

One case was while Cruz was in private practice over a patent infringement. Cruz won.

Don't be so hasty; I for one would LOVE to engage in a technical discussion of how to design certain Tables, Indexes and Relationships in a Database as well as discuss Form and Report Design.
Kaz may have some great insight on how to actually create something as opposed to simply shipping in the next batch of H1-Bs.

As Cousin Vinnie said, "Win some, lose some.
Very few lawyers appear before the Supreme Court once in their lifetime. Cruz appeared 9 times, lost 4, won 2 and 3 no decisions. Most of those cases represented Texas. He ain't no dummy when it comes to law and the Constitution. Here's a good article.

Before he was a U.S. senator or a candidate for president, Ted Cruz argued before the U.S. Supreme Court nine times, putting the Texas Republican in an exclusive club.

“Most lawyers in America will never argue in front of the Supreme Court, much less do it nine times,” said Paul Collins, director of legal studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.


For all but one of his nine cases before the nation’s highest court, Cruz represented the state of Texas as its solicitor general. It was a role that allowed him to challenge the legal limits of hot-button issues such as the Voting Rights Act and states’ rights.

Over nine trips to the Supreme Court, Cruz clearly lost four cases and won two. The other three rulings were less clear-cut.

In Nine Trips to Supreme Court, Ted Cruz Saw Mixed Results

Straw man...?"general automation of processes"?
Please point that out to me as I never posted such a thing.
On the other hand, please admit you could never actually develop and implement a system and that Managers lie on interviews when they promise non-Indian H1-Bs loyalty and financial reward.
By the way, who interviews your Developers?
Obviously not you and if your Firm(s) work like all other sweat shops, the H1-Bs are too inexpensive to waste time interviewing them.

My Masters Thesis for my MS in Computer Science at Virginia Tech was titled, "Developing Distributed Applications with Heterogeneous Database Management Systems." I was in a GE Technical management training program at the same time, their paying for my degree, books and all, was part of the program.

I ended up writing two papers on the subject. One was for my masters which talked about two phase commit and maintaining data concurrency in distributed transactional databases from an academic standpoint. The other was a white paper for GE on how to actually build applications using Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) systems. I was a software architect and consulted with global application development projects and helped them design their solutions. We used Tuxedo at that time.

The other was a white paper for GE on how to actually build applications using Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) systems. I was an architect and consulted with global application development projects and helped them design their solutions. We used Tuxedo at that time.

Did you understand any of that? Or are you a poseur?

Good...I've read those non-technical manuals also.
So what language(s) are you currently developing in and what RDBs?
I personally hate Inheritance.
Your preferred Report Generator?
Do you do Logical or Physical Database design?

Your reaction to what I did proves you're full of shit. But I'll go one round for kicks

So what language(s) are you currently developing in and what RDBs? - I programmed mostly in C. I did some Fortran but only because I was usually way ahead of the mainframe guys and wrote a lot of their code for them. I started in Informix RDBMs and then went to Oracle when that became dominant. Since I was writing SQL it made little difference to me. Matters more to the DBA. I try to write generic SQL anyway and not use database specific capabilities. Ditto C. I created a version of C++ before there was C++ because I read about the concept of objects and found it very useful.

I personally hate Inheritance. - Agreed

Your preferred Report Generator? - that was a while ago, but I preferred Crystal at the time

Do you do Logical or Physical Database design? - Logical, duh. I said I was a software architect. Why would I want to screw with the physical design?

You're a Marxist, nothing can shake you from that management and the rich just oppress the proletariat, can you? Damn Bourgeois ...

So let's look at what happens in the REAL world...
Software engineer or Applications Developer is interviewed in excess of 10 hours.
The human interviewed by the Managing Director, CIO and even CEO as well as head DBA, Project Manager and Project Leader.
The CEO, CIO and Managing Director howl to the skies about loyalty and reward for "hard work" and a job well done.
The Developer accepts the position and develops an automated system in less than a year that brings in tens of millions of dollars.
The Developer has a developed Fourth Form Normalized RDB, receives feeds from other systems as well as feeding other system.
The System has all the bells and in whistles in it's infrastructure before the Business Logic kicks in.
The Developer has analyzed, designed and created Forms, Reports, Batch Processes and God knows what else that YOU, or any OTHER Manager, will NEVER be able to accomplish.

THEN the CEO decides it's time to bring in the Cheap Labor.
And that's where YOU, the capitalist comes in.
YOU are part and parcel of the BIG LIE about "loyalty and reward for "hard work" and a job well done."

And you call me a Marxist?
What does that make you?
Simple...a lying scumbag that can't admit you're a scumbag.
I'd have some respect for you if you simply admit you...do next to nothing for a living and...facilitate a fundamental lie within unfettered Capitalism...That accomplishment does not result in treachery.

Without me, there was no "automated system" in the first place

There was automation way before you.
And if all you got to work with is H1-Bs you ain't getting shit done.

I have plenty of friends working in the Fortune 500 Firms that can't stand the bad English and absolute lack of Software Development skills.
But that's what the CEO wants.

The GAME...
Hire an H1-B team for dirt money.
Let the project go on for about 2 years.
Managers get a raise and bonus for articulating why the "programmers" failed.
Blame the failure on the "programmers".

Wash, rinse, repeat,

You've got to do better than that to pull your bullshit on me.

It still cracks me up that the Citibank App took over a year to read a picture of a check correctly.

I always said at GE that GE sucks at IT and if you're going to suck at something, you should at least suck at it cheaply ...

That's good that your admitting that the gods at GE are wasting Stock Holders money.

Illogical response. I agreed we outsource and offshore to save money because we sucked at IT anyway, that's not wasting money

 

[Indeependent]

own a business with ten employees. I also work in management consulting, I take management consulting contracts. I just spent most of the last year in the Netherlands, which is why I was posting largely in the middle of the night. I've also owned a couple other businesses and spent my career in management and management consulting at companies including GE (including GE Nuclear, GE Energy Services, GE Consumer Finance, GE Capital, GE Information Services). I've also worked for companies such as Booz Allen, Fidelity Investments, Cisco, American Express, TJX and others.

I suppose no one knows better than you do if you're a loser that anyone important shouldn't waste their time on

One thing I have learned in my 1600 posts of Bullshit that you haven't learned in your 34000 posts of Bullshit.

This is the internet. You can be whatever you want to be. And people lie about what they are. All the time. Ever notice that ALL the high post count right winger people are super successful. So they say.

If you were the manager you CLAIM to be, you would know that.

And as one liar famously said; you don't know what you don't know. So quit acting like you do or can.

Assuming things like you do makes you sound stupid.

Don't be so hasty; I for one would LOVE to engage in a technical discussion of how to design certain Tables, Indexes and Relationships in a Database as well as discuss Form and Report Design.
Kaz may have some great insight on how to actually create something as opposed to simply shipping in the next batch of H1-Bs.

My Masters Thesis for my MS in Computer Science at Virginia Tech was titled, "Developing Distributed Applications with Heterogeneous Database Management Systems." I was in a GE Technical management training program at the same time, their paying for my degree, books and all, was part of the program.

I ended up writing two papers on the subject. One was for my masters which talked about two phase commit and maintaining data concurrency from an academic standpoint. The other was a white paper for GE on how to actually build applications using Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) systems.

I'm not impressed because I never wrote about those topics...I DID THEM...MANY TIMES.

OMG! I hated Crystal! Imagine having to Warehouse Data before running a report!
I loved Access and there was a Reporting OCX, DataDynamics ActiveReports, that combined the Visual Basic Design Interface with the Access engine so that you could write interactive SQL with the Field Events.
But Crystal has the budget to out advertise it.

RMS on VAX VMS wasn't bad but I was thrilled when DEC's RDB came out, but it's performance was horrendous.
I never got to work on Sybase but I was told that when it flushed out to disk the Application would come to a stand still for 30-90 seconds at a clip.

I never worked with a Software Architect.
I meet people who tell me that they are Software Architects, but when I ask them EXACTLY what they do they always switch to another topic.
What EXACTLY does a software architect DO?

So do you actually interview any of your team?
