Who need real greatness?
Most of the time I left wondering about people, I keep on asking myself, whats wrong with me? Why cant I see all the goodness which other people can see in all great human being around me. I also want to feel greatness of these people, I want to feel blessed for living in same time as theirs.
Its been quite some time I have spent in this industry and though it looks like, but ours is not very different from any other.
I believe we guys can speak more polished lie compared to any of our counterparts, exception given to sales/marketing guys who can beat us hands down. Ever wondered who quoted project at such a low man hours and impossible timeliness, he is your sales guy.
Its ironic our is high tech industry but most of time, most of us busy doing is something which can not be called technical by most shameless guy.
And its not that we are forced to do it but just we like doing it because its easiest way to the top.
I always used to tell my manager friends that if you want to know whats really happening in project talk to developers who are considered lowest in hierarchy. They will tell the exact state of project delivery and whether its going to happen or not.
Like it or not truth is higher the guy, lesser he knows.
I started this note talking about goodness of people which I cant see while others do.
What I said above has very interesting connection to that.
In India, whenever there is drought situation our great politician will go for an aerial inspection, reason being father you are, lesser scary it looks.
So coming to back to far view, my question to guys sitting on top why cant they see what any other developer or fresher can see. Why cant they understand that a guy who keeps bumping in to discuss all trivial but blown up issues is an glorified idiot not a real performer. He is just massaging your ego and increasing his visibility. Or probably they all know the truth. But because its their own way to reach where they are.
I always get fascinated with some people's unmatched ability to convert most trivial thing into next "Armageddon". Big salute to you all. But I am really sorry that I cant see all the goodness in you guys. Over the time I realized if you solve big issues without complaining then they weren't big enough. So go and complain. Or better avoid work using these issues.
Its really sad but true that in my last 5 years in this industry even after working with 3 top IT giants, number of real techies I met does not cross my finger count.
Ask me, reason is fairly simple, we don't want good people to grow. It takes effort and time to really evaluate a person and who has time for that.
Another simple reason, if you came this far bullshitting, you will never want any one smarter than you to come near you.
I had seen numerous ingenious ways to avoid work and believe me every passing days people are getting better at it. But still at the end of day don't they feel empty inside? You can fool everyone around but your own self, or probably they don't have time to think about it because they might be busy working on next big bullshit.
Anyway accept my best wishes but sorry however hard I try i cant see your greatness!!!
