    I got dropped onto the tail end of a death march project that has virtual requirements that was architected by an ex main framer with almost no OOD experience. Sometimes I just get feed up with the insanity of it all this is the same old grind we know will not work but here I am again. I hate being in this position and there is just nothing I can do but watch it crash and burn. The managers and developers are all working as hard as they can but it is going to end badly I just don't like being in this situation.

      Have you thought about developing your own product or service and move away from that kind of structure of employement? Then you get to control everything :)

          I had a pretty good consulting business going but neither of my boys wanted to get into the business so I took a job. I really like the people but I struggle with the large project mindset some times. One of the exciting things is that we have just finished a couple of successful agile projects and the team is beginning to come together.

            Is this some form of euphemism?:-D

                  We are each doing presentations every week or so discussing technical topics that we are interested in. It is fun to being challenged by your peers and it makes work more interesting. I will say though that it is a bit unnerving to present a topic to people that is programmers they catch everything.
