People are What Makes it Hard (and Interesting)

I agree, jos, about the importance of people in the software development game (particularly, as you point out, in a business context). If it were only about twiddling bits this would all be easy. I'm no technical mastermind like some people are, but some time ago the technical aspects of software development became routine for me in many ways, and the "people side of things" became more and more interesting.

I like your closing statement: "How can I care about my customer and his needs if I am not first taking care of the guys in my office?"

Great to see another post from you, jos. I may sometimes be too busy to comment, but always know that I appreciate your (and everyone's) contribution.

Business fulfills needs of customers. Business "uses" people as well as process. But business is only an exchange arangement of work for money. We work because we are made to work. And we like it.
