Umm... True that the condition in the software industry is getting worse as the day progresses!
Now its like people have started saying that Night outs at office is a way of life! How pathetic! Not many people in the IT field can boast about a sound personal life! Infact many people are like zombies from hollywood pictures!
Plus there are no associations in India that cater to the health and well being of the IT people!
India is happy with these "law abiding"citizens.. these people pay income tax , sweat it out at their work places with little botheration.
Really really pathetic..
Lets hope this situation changes for the betterment of all!!! |

Lets see what is going to happen tomorrow ?, is this the rethorical questian the author wants to comment, I really don't understand the point, one thing is for sure, atitude bundled with aptitude is going to stay, whether it is services or product based IT or say any otehr domain. Being realistic is appreciative,however being pessimistic and commenting about layoffs and job loses is subjective to an inividuals marketablility. One final note for all pessimist, don't become complacent for the reason that you got a job in a Major IT organization, accept learnign as part of your job and continually improve your Knowledge capital, this is the key for success in good and bad times...... |

Except for broad generalizations, the article seems very very correct to me. Of course there will be people who would disagree becoz they have seen otherwise, but still the article, in my opinion, reflects the general state of Indian IT industry very well. |

I agree that everyone doesnt have to be an innovator - but then the expectation that people should sacrifice their health, happiness and personal lives at the altar of the software companies - is sick !!! These employees would have been more productive and happier, if they had better control over their personal lives and not felt like puppets remote-controlled from US. |

Once you start digging deeper and deeper into the so called knowledge world, like the kernel internals, scheduling, process mgmt on different OSes, you would realise how little you know about the world. There is so much to learn and so little time. Thats when you realise you have to stop thinking about innovations at some point of time. Its only our super-ego that says we are doing great innovative job, but it is no better than the maintenance job. So called "intellectual" jobs in start-ups become equivalent to their "services industry" counterparts.
Innovation in most cases doesnt depend on superiority of technology/product, but depends on demand/supply theory. Windows is the best example. On the other hand Apple's macintosh is supposed to be the gem in the computing world in terms of technologies, but it is deemed to be a failure.
There are few examples where innovation has won; like google's search engine, apple's iPod but its rare. Some of the technologies survive not on merit, but just because they are driven by big players in the market.
If you really want to innovate, there are ways you can make social impact... like study different aspects of enviroment, interact with an expert who is working on the weather report, build some model which can correctly(probability ~1) predict rain patterns across India or build something which have larger social implications... We can make a big difference if only we innovate right things.
