How to scrounge that first $X to get a project going, or What to do with the $X left over at the end of the year."</p> <p>Concept vs. practical reality..</p> <p>Frameworks and models are important and you must have them to guide your execution, but it is practical reality that makes you successful. This is one of my issues with certification, university education and generally the way we try and "educate" people in the modern world.. Too much education is designed for volume (reasonably enough to try and reach the masses) and not depth of execution. Too many models and frameworks and not enough knowledge and experience..</p> <p>Bring back mentors, bring back apprenticeships. Measure yourself on your geneology (mentors and projects) and not your certificates and academic letters..</p> <p>!!!OK Brad, Step away from the soapbox..!!!</p> <p>Brad Vaughan<br /> blogs.sun.com/buraddo</p> Tue, 13 May 2008 17:06:57 +0000 buraddo comment 2738 at http://www.itskeptic.org
