My job went to India and all I got was…

… four weeks’ notice. Yes, yesterday I finished up my last contract in Amsterdam, rather prematurely. We got into work on Monday to be told that the project was cancelled, nearly half-way through the originally planned timeframe. Not because the project was going badly, not because they were unhappy with the team but because it had become obvious we weren’t going to meet their original deadline (made long before any of the team had joined) and were unable to budge on quality or functionality. So my job didn’t go to India per se, but this being a re-write of an existing application they’re going to try and make do with the horror of the previous version and outsource its further development to India. Good luck to them. Now what am I going to do?

• Configuration by code?
• When is being agile not Agile
• A whole new world
• Keep it obvious
