When managers hold endless meetings, the programmers write games. When
accountants talk of quarterly profits, the development budget is about to
be cut. When senior scientists talk blue sky, the clouds are about to roll
in.
Truly, this is not the Tao of Programming.
When managers make commitments, game programs are ignored. When accountants
make long-range plans, harmony and order are about to be restored. When
senior scientists address the problems at hand, the problems will soon be
solved.
