It's a swampy bureaucratic wasteland full of legal minefields, and creepy little wild-eyed paranoid people scuttling around clutching secrets to their chests and croaking "Mine! Mine!"

A fine rant. It puts the blame squarely where it belongs, on the corporate bigwigs who can't seem to think in more than 3 month chunks. By the way, this kind of corporate "thinking" extends far and wide beyond IT. I've seen a few biotechs completely ruined by the extreme focus on quarterly numbers. Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, destroys innovation faster and more effectively than the short-term horizons that dominate corporate thinking these days. Any my guess is that the economy won't start pulling out of its tailspin until the bozos that practice this crapola are given their pink slips and shown the door.

She seems to write good articles, she also wrote this awesome rant:

She certainly is a good writer. Found a complete list of her articles:

Thanks, I read them at some point, but there's something strange:

It's listed there, but it's not by her ...

Mmm, strange. I haven't read all of them yet either. I did a google search for her articles, and that site seemed the best at first glance.
Found this about the woman herself:

P.S.
Congratulations on becoming a Guru.

Thanks for both (I still don't know too much more than I did before tho ...)

These are compulsory on reaching Guru status: shaven head, saffron robe, and sandals.

... and lots of meditation alone on the top of a mountain or in a cave

Yeah, whatever's nearest. Or mountaintop when it's fine, cave when it's raining. And don't forget to address everyone as "Grasshopper", like Master Po in "Kung Fu".
It doesn't matter how much you actually know, as long as you can convince people you know everything.

That reminds me, I must find and watch Kung Fu Hustle again.
