A Metafesto
Being a software engineer, I’m always on the hunt for better ways to develop software. In my continuous search for excellence, I’ve recently been bombarded by what seems like an endless stream of manifestos. Here are some of the most “famous” ones:
They’re all so brilliantly elegant and moving that I want to put them on little magnets and display them in my cube right next to the company core values and quality policy magnets.
In response to the manifesto craze, I’ve come up with my own “metafesto”. A manifesto about manifestos.
Enough already! Stop talking about manifesting some ideal behavior and just do it. Manifest what you wrote yourself. No need to get up on a soapbox and pontificate to the masses of little people so that they do things the “right” way. If what you preach works, and people see it and resonate with it, then they’ll manifest what you’re manifesting. I hereby renounce all software-oriented manifestos as self-righteous and dictatorial rules wrapped in elegant and poetic rhetoric.
Do as Ghandi says: ““We must become the change we want to see.” He didn’t say “Talk about the change we want to see” in the world.
Why am I here?
WTF?
Meh!
D'oh!
