[location-iwg] "Quality happens only when someone is responsible for it"


Hi All,

Definitely worth a read. I'm curious how each of you feel about this. I know there are more than a few that would agree in principle with much of Mr. Kamp is asserting.

Quote to pique your interest:
"That is the sorry reality of the bazaar Raymond praised in his book: a pile of old festering hacks, endlessly copied and pasted by a clueless generation of IT "professionals" who wouldn't recognize sound IT architecture if you hit them over the head with it. It is hard to believe today, but under this embarrassing mess lies the ruins of the beautiful cathedral of Unix, deservedly famous for its simplicity of design, its economy of features, and its elegance of execution."
