<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <font size='2' face="sans-serif"><blockquote>We couldn’t understand
why people without technical knowledge had to tell programmers “what”
to do and, furthermore, they had to supervise “how” programmers did it.
</blockquote></font>
<br />
<br /><font size='2' face="sans-serif"><a href="http://qz.com/260846/why-our-startup-has-no-bosses-no-office-and-a-four-day-work-week/"
title="This article" target=_new>This article</a>
really resonated with me since I have frequently seen first hand how a
lack of conscientious programming can cost an organization in the long
run.Call me crazy but I have always taken the long view when coding since
much of my work in recent years has involved unravelling the "shortcuts"
and sloppy work of previous programmer/developers. Why do so many
programmers produce so much crappy code?</font>
<br />
<br /><font size='2' face="sans-serif"><blockquote>At big tech companies
we frequently observed how programmers would do bad work in a short period
of time and receive praise from their bosses. Over time, this leads to
the standard: “let’s program with low quality but as fast as possible.”
</blockquote></font>
<br />
<br /><font size='2' face="sans-serif">So, blame it on the managers! Indeed
after asserting that a developer needs at least a 4-hour stretch uninterrupted
to be most effective, one of my favorite observations in the article neatly
articulates the damage that even a "short meeting" can cause:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>If for example, our boss assigns a meeting at 11am,
then the morning is lost since I have to get ready for the meeting, attend
the meeting, greet everybody, discuss the topics, then I have to go back
to my desk and pick up exactly from where I had left off, see what I was
doing and keep on programming. With all these activities, the whole morning
is practically lost. </blockquote></font>
<br />
<br /><font size='2' face="sans-serif">As the article points out not all developer/programmers
are suited for a self-guided style of work, but I recently marked 3 years
working almost entirely from home and have to agree that if you can pull
it off, the benefits are tremendous, both in terms of quality of work and
lifestyle. I believe my choice of platform (Lotus Notes) is also particularly
well-suited to this style of work.</font>

that our adopted son Mark has been writing over on his Xomino.com blog.
Well, Mark is also fresh off his debut at Lotusphere, er, IBMConnect this
past January, where he covered the topic of JQuery in XPages, and he is
going to bring some of that experience to Washington DC later this month.
And I should mention that Mark is actually local to DC (don't let the British
accent fool you) and is working to organize more DCLUG events in the months
ahead. If there is a topic you want covered, let him know!</font>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <font size='2' face="sans-serif">Interesting year we're having, eh? Perhaps
a bit more than the usual amount of consternation over the future of, well,
everything Yellow. Amidst all the hubbub I thought I'd break blog silence
to address one specific issue that it seems has been at least a contributing
factor in IT decisions to move away from Notes as an application platform.
I also set up a <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/R5Q92GT"
title="census/survey" target=_new>census/survey</a>
related to this question, but more on that below...</font>
<br />
<br /><font size='2' face="sans-serif">I was inspired to write this post after
Lotus Developer and XPage Guru <a href="http://notesin9.com/"
title="David Leedy" target=_new>David Leedy</a> last
month sparked a vibrant conversation with his post <a href="http://notesin9.com/index.php/2011/05/03/company-might-leave-notes-app-dev-but-not-email-due-to-lack-of-developers/"
title="Company might leave Notes App Dev (but not email) due to lack
of developers" target=_new>Company might leave Notes App Dev (but
not email) due to lack of developers</a> about his former employer
in Lebanon, PA. The issue at hand is the apparent shortage of Lotus Notes/Domino
development talent and how that has caused this company to consider a complete
shift away from Domino apps. That Lebanon is a relatively small market
probably makes finding any kind of IT talent a bit harder than many places,
but I've heard similar complaints from IT managers in big cities as well.</font>
<br />
<br /><font size='2' face="sans-serif">I don't know about you, but every time
I hear someone cite a Lotus talent shortage for why it makes sense to move
away from Domino (typically to Sharepoint /.NET), I struggle to reconcile
that perception with the frequent complaints from fellow Lotus developers
about the shortage of jobs. Clearly there is a disconnect somewhere, and
I have an idea about its cause. What I see here is a "vicious
circle" meets "chicken and egg" problem, with a sizable
pool of "hidden" Lotus talent sitting on the job search sidelines,
too afraid (if they have a job) or too discouraged (whether they have a
job or not, whether doing Lotus development or not) to post their resume/CV
for potential (or current) employers to see. Employers in turn conclude
there is a talent shortage and give up looking to instead pursue a new
platform strategy.</font>
<br />
<br /><font size='2' face="sans-serif">It is worth noting that there is also
a bit of a false equivalence when comparing the number of available Lotus
Notes developers (and more so administrators) to the number focused on
Sharepoint/.Net/ SQL/ IIS. Frankly, you need fewer bodies to maintain and
develop for the Lotus platform (Feel free to offer specific examples or
counter-examples in the comments). And considering how easy it can be to
work remotely on Domino administrative and development tasks (even offline
- thank you local replication!), Notes shops need not limit themselves
to local talent.. Also, as was pointed out in the comments on David's post,
you can grow your own developers by *training* them, and there is a ton
of XPages training material out now. These points are. sadly, lost on many
IT decision makers.</font>
<br />
<br /><font size='2' face="sans-serif">It's hard to dispute that Lotus Notes/Domino
is struggling in the market when even IBM are actively downplaying the
Lotus brand. It's very easy to rationalize an application platform shift
in the current climate, but on this one point about a "talent shortage"
I am extremely skeptical. Is there a genuine Lotus talent shortage?</font>
<br />
<br /><font size='2' face="sans-serif"><b>I'd like to hear from you!</b></font>
<br />
<br /><font size='2' face="sans-serif">I would also like to invite you and
any current <i>or former </i>Lotus Developer friends you know to respond
to a brief <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/R5Q92GT"
title="Lotus Developer "Census"" target=_new>Lotus
Developer "Census"</a> (i.e. survey) I set up to validate
my "hidden talent" theory. The results of the survey will be
shared publicly, but any personal contact info you choose to provide will
be seen only by myself. I would encourage you to include your name and
email though, as I am hoping this survey will prove a valuable recruiting
tool going forward (especially for those of you who are unhappy or underutilized).
Your contact information will also allow me to contact you to follow up
on any interesting comments you may offer as part of your survey responses.
I'm hoping this will be a learning experience for all of us. Thank you
for responding and for helping spread the word.</font>

<a href="http://www.lotusguru.com/lotusguru/LGBlog.nsf/d6plinks/20101109-8B2HXA"
title="DC Lotus Professionals meetup" target=_new>DC Lotus
Professionals meetup</a>, I want to extend a few well deserved
Thank Yous. The first goes out to our featured guest Eric Mack of GTD/eProductivity
fame for imparting his invaluable insights and practical tips on increasing
our personal productivity. The group was enjoying Eric's presentation and
the accompanying conversation so much that we blew right through our 5PM
end time because no one in the room felt like stopping. That should tell
you something. I have to say that I have been inspired to take the next
steps and start applying GTD principles to my daily routine using Eric's
eProductivity Notes template. You'll probably see an up-tick in blogging
here as that process unfolds. There are two other group members who already
use the template and report great results, so I am especially looking forward
to following their example.</font>
<br />
<br /><font size='2' face="sans-serif">The second thank you goes out to IBM
for arranging to host our meetup in their brand new Washington DC offices.
Maurice Cogdell and Jeanette Coury really came through for us in the face
of a challenging timetable, especially considering IBM has only been in
their new office for a couple weeks.. The conference and training room
they have there is state of the art and very well designed. It is large
enough to accommodate the much larger groups we hope to see attend future
meetups, but has a coziness that works well with smaller crowds too.</font>
<br />
<br /><font size='2' face="sans-serif">I would also like to apologize to any
folks out there who didn't see the meetup announcements in time to attend.
As mentioned above it took some extra work to get our meeting location
confirmed, so that meant a very short turnaround to promote the event.
If you haven't already, please <a href="http://www.meetup.com/DC-Lotus-Professionals/"
title="register on our Meetup site" target=_new>register on
our Meetup site</a> so you are always informed about upcoming plans.</font>
<br />
<br /><font size='2' face="sans-serif">And finally, Eric would like me to remind
those who did attend last week that he is offering you a free eProductivity
Reference Database with GTD Materials. If you haven't already made arrangements
with Eric and want to avail of this offer feel free to <a href="http://www.ericmackonline.com"
title="contact him directly" target=_new>contact him directly</a>.
Two lucky attendees also received a full Pro & Premier license of eProductivity
in the drawing we held during the meetup.</font>
<br />
<br /><font size='2' face="sans-serif">We are now planning our next meetup
for January and are looking for ideas on speakers and/or topics. I would
encourage you to join our Meetup Group and use the site's idea features
to make suggestions.</font>
