Has anyone seen the job posting out on Dice where
they will teach you (the candidate) rules engineering while you are developing
their software ? Of course, the catch is that "a stipend will not be paid" for
the first 2 months.
Somebody please help me out here, has the price of
offshore labor dropped to the point where we all do this for free
??
Other job req's ask for total rules system analysis
to be done in 6 weeks. From what I have seen, the analysis of a rules system
starts on day one and ends when the project is rolled out to the customer
because the engineering of a rule-based system is SIGNIFICANTLY different from
ordinary applications. And oh by the way, it cannot be faked the way many
projects do their applications - it is either VERY RIGHT or VERY WRONG. The
testing suites must be generated from the requirements, analysis, and
design work products and not pulled out of their butts.
It is no wonder that the failure rate of software
engineering in this country has risen to 95+ % (this is documented in many of
the trade rags).
Does management not realize that they are commiting
suicide with these ridiculous approaches to rules engineering ? Or maybe this is
the reason they are sending so much work offshore so that they cannot be blamed
for the certain failures to follow. If justice is to be served then these
managers need to spend about 6 months in some offshore hellhole in order to
collect their bonus.
Oh well !!!
