...Code, Test, Deliver and the DeAdlInEs.....

Well this one is going quite away from my earlier posts; but this is what I m into... day in and day out....
hummm I am really confused whether to thank this world of IT which has given us job and a so called respectable stature in the society; or to curse this very job of ours... We have got the job.... whats the big deal everybody else is getting the same... we are getting opportunity to go abroad see new places.. but again everybody else is getting the same.... If everybody is getting the same then the point remains what special you are doing.... We in technical community confront ourselves by saying that we are into development and are doing better job than at least half of our colleagues :)... silly argument isn't it... no then we support with the very same dialog of ours "at least we are doing something original..." Are we actually...
Well leave it.. I would still be happy to call myself a "Developer".. what lies inside it everybody knows both we the hypocrite speakers and the listeners... whatever... well this was not what i intended to write about... Lets come back to the topic....

these days or at least for last one year my life has moved around these words ...Code, Test, Deliver and the DeAdlInEs..... ...
What the heck we do put all of our efforts in writing a piece of cut copy paste code; then test it and find bugs in the same manner introducing the new bugs which come in latter test cycles and they are again fixed and tested and the cycle continues..... Continues till the final time comes... time to deliver and then comes the Deadlines... isn't it a horrifying word Deadlines... but we have made use of this word so frequently that even our children would laugh them out.. "Deadlines... what the all fuzz about... you are always trying to meet them and missing them anyway..."
Seriously these terms like Deadlines, living on the edge, tight schedule... are so commonly associated with us.. may be because of the fact that either we are actually in tight schedules always or may be because we are so used to these words that we wont work until these terms are linked with our work.... I think that the latter cause is majorly responsible for the situation of ours that brings us to the first reason... Its a viscous circle isn't it.... :)
Well whatever it is here i m not to talk about the ways to avoid it or any new theory or approach to make us IT professionals work more efficiently or whatever... I just wanted to do some bakar... I m done with it and now I think I should work otherwise i am gonna miss another DeAdLinE... :) Actually I have to attend a meeting.. ops I forhot to talk about meetings... hope this pics tells about it a bit...
