billable-hour consultant’s hampster wheel of death

4 Comments

Thin­gamy is almost ready for its next phase of tes­ting. Says Sigurd:

Doing some finishing touches to a works-nicely with-a-little-list-of-missing-features ver­sion of the thin­gamy (you’ll never hear me say pre this or that, and no alpha, no beta) that will go out to a few IT con­sul­tants and sys­tem inte­gra­tors for some real life playing.

Because con­sul­tants can build their own, uni­que stuff with it, they’ll have something other than billa­ble hours to sell to their clients. Which should be music to the ears to anyone who’s ever spent time on the billable-hour consultant’s hamps­ter wheel of death.
Right, Den­nis? James? Hamish?
[MEANWHILE:] Con­grats to Tara for Riyah launching etc. A million pic­tu­res uploa­ded in 24 hours? Intense.

   I’ll imme­dia­tely add it to my “blun­der log” [dept. of foot-in-mouth, minor gaf­fes]

   Hey Hugh and Sig,
   So…since there looks like a pre-release after all, did you need a tes­ter or two?
   I know a few con­sul­tants with well-read blogs who may want to use this for a spell to check out how it works for them (and give you some good user feed­back).
