She had done an excellent job, but post-implementation, around 20% of her time thereafter was taken up with support and troubleshooting. There are two main differences between entropic or anti-entropic system or solution programmes: 1) Entropic ones are all short-sighted point solutions 1.1) Anti-entropic ones address the longer term, and look at medium-long term TCO, and address the support/sustain/maintain issues from day 1. Often these can be more costly than licence and implementation even (have i started to speak about shelfware and deployment and adoption yet?) 2.) Entropic "solutions" don't see their place in the greater scheme of things. Biologically, they are at worst cancers, or at best, localised pathologies that will dies soon and not harm the greater organism in a significant way. 2.1) Anti-entropic systems range from (at worst) parasitic, but benign, through to symbiotic, mutualist, or commensualist situations. This is a sign of either a good, or a lucky architecture. Excellent observations:

If all the guys who sat in my chair before me, and kept this seat warm were so smart, howcome i have a job? I agree with and endorse this entire article, except for one part:

To me proper planning, skills, habits, rules, ways of working, etc can not be replaced by software. The people are not appliances. Probably David wanted to say that the most important is to invest efforts in good planing and the tools to be selected according to the plan...Without good plan you’ll be in hot water fast with any tool... By the way the technology has clay that can be strong as marble and can be modeled with bare hands, probably you(like many others) use buildings made from concrete... :-) Kamen Hi Miko
