I am not a religious person, but I believe we are in dire need of an IT religion.
Imagine mighty IT Gods looking over you. Imagine RC or Nandan visiting the TOGAF temple every morning and applying the SOA tilak before attending office.
Before you write me off, stop and think. Wouldn't it be nice to receive some support from an Almighty to do all the good things that need to be done?
We wouldn't need exorbitant studies and implementation plans spanning decades on whether and which EAF to use for the government. Our IT Vedas would've already explored the concepts and told us what to do.
We wouldn't need to quote best practices from Australian or Estonian governments to put in place comprehensive citizen empowerment frameworks. The IT Bible would've already endorsed it. They (the best practices) would figure frequently in sermons in the local IT Churches.
We would only hire consultants to implement the teachings - not to figure out and write the policies, processes and procedures (I beg your pardon... I mean "teachings"). We wouldn't really need so many technical committees. SOA would not only be decreed by the SOA Granth Sahib but suitable practices would all be detailed for those willing to undergo baptism.
IT security wouldn't be such a big problem, Inshallah. The Prophet would frown upon the sins of credit card thefts and his followers would declare jihad on any DDOS attacker. We would be taught from childhood that hacking is a sin that is severely punished by Allah.
I can see that I have fired your imagination - and probably indignation too. Before you get any bright ideas, let me warn you that I am an IT GodMan ordained by Lord vIShnu v3.0 as Swami Sas3Dev. So think twice before you flame me.
Honestly, we suffer from two serious problems in the industry:
Note: My humble apologies for all the name dropping. No, not just to the Gods and Advaita (for multiplicity of Gods in my imagination) philosophers, but to the real people as well. All done with a good intent.

Honestly, we suffer from two serious problems in the industry:
- Credibility: Anyone we give good advice to, needs the advice ratified by a committee or a PhD or someone of repute. It wouldn't be so, if a religious text extolled its virtues.
- Divergent Expertise: No two experts agree on anything. Religion brings about the focus and agreement on good things to do and sins to avoid. Divergence of practices without diluting the convergence of good-vs-bad is such a good thing.
Beyond this, I leave it to your imagination.

Not that easy SAS3 ji. Before anything is written into the so called IT Granth Sahib, IT Gita or IT Bible people (may be ITians) need a IT Devji, IT Krishna and an IT Christ who are indeed a person (or committee) who are trusted to be the having authority on this subject.
ReplyDeleteIn short: There is nothing good or bad its the opinion that matters. PUBLIC OPINION is stronger than INDIVIDUAL opinion. Well this is my OPINION though!!
