I like the call to action and the focus on the positive
things that altnetter's have done to make a difference
already.
I see the traction growing everyday.
You need to get a break. You seem to be able to develop
a strategic concept and implement it, not necessarily in
the exact area you've been working for last years. Think
more globally.
Absolutely. No Unit Testing in my group before I got
there, much less TDD. I took on executing TDD without
batting an eyelash and now I have other team members
following suit because it's clear the value it adds. No
CI either, so I stood up CruiseControl for our program.
Now it's a standard thing for all our projects to have a
corresponding CC build which, at minimum, builds and
tests that system (since now they're writing unit
tests), and other programs are adding their projects. I
agree with this wholeheartedly; don't complain, just
solve the problem for yourself and eventually it will
catch on.
I felt the same way...and now I have a 30" monitor.
Woot!
