Boldly going to IBM Rational 2008

"I attended some change and release management sessions as well as a few application lifecycle management streams and found that what, to me, has always been a fairly straightforward topic, can still be complicated by IBM celebrity speaker spin doctors. I didn't find the case study sessions too hot either to be honest as I just don't have that much interest in what another company has done to implement technology. I think I speak for other programmers when I say that most software engineers view each project as unique, requiring its own special skills sets and challenges. But Florida is great, Disney is great, The Wallflowers played a great gig and I'm sure I'll learn a few things while I'm here."
