Why?

BK doesn’t belong in the role. He’s had 3 years to learn it and has spent the last year in hiding.
I have no idea who thought it was a good idea to put him in the role, but why the h-ll have they left him in it?
Because he has never been in EMIT assignment, at least from 1989 to 2013.
So he doesn't fully understand IT.
I think the reason a lot of LT don’t like software developers are because it’s just a lot cheaper and easier to manage an IT landscape that isn’t customized to death. We need people who can connect SaaS applications together, not spend two years developing a weak version of the SaaS offering or customizing something where nobody can upgrade or support it. I think in some cases software developers are good, but in non IT companies that really have their IT together a lot don’t do too much development.
Well, software is a commodity. Plain and simple.
It's a way to create a file system or data processing system in an automated manner based on BUSINESS SPECIFIC EXPERTISE and DATA.
That IS all it IS.
It ain't no more.
Massive props to the hot shot who tagged BK on his cube selfie post on LI.
Brave souls do still exist, just not in EnronMobil.
I’m sure he does. Probably he just doesn’t think we need them in-house and try so hard to carve a career out for them in EM … we can pay vendors for the work and they manage their developers. I.e. MSP
Because he’s not one himself.
BK may have fudged the messaging with his “hot shots” comment, but the problem comes from more long-tenured IT people, specifically the EMIT LT. For a period of time it seemed like every other word out of the previous ITOPS manager’s mouth was “commodity”.
When did he say he didn't?
