staring at clouds

Richard - I agree the industry used to be a respected profession back in the early days, now the industry has been managed down into commodities to be exploited, by managers who don't understand IT and don't know the difference between software devlopment and word processing

the industry while seen as a key industry is systematically under valued, under appreciated and perhaps most importantly under invested, we bemoan the lack of graduates or available IT professionals with the right skills yet no one is willing to provide training or make the industry more attractive
