gizaThe Windows Shutdown crapfest has been making the rounds, so I thought I'd link to it here.
It's a blog entry by a developer who worked at Microsoft, talking about the insane layers of politics he had to deal with, the gigantic meetings, and the fact that it took him a year to write a few hundred lines of code. He also discussed some of the technical challenges, like how long it would take code to be moved around the repository.
The blogger also admits that not all departments are like this, his may have been an exception to the rule.
