My mistakes…

Yesterday I’ve being interviewed by Roy Osherove as part of his initiative to  interview and publish figures (http://teamagile.com/mainpages/Interviews.html) . it was 2 hours of interesting conversation that mainly touch enterprise architecture and little bit on system architecture. One nice question that Roy ask me was to list my mistakes….

Nice challenge that you can all hear when Roy will publish the Interview. Well there are two major mistakes that I’ve learned:

1)      I call it “First interpersonal relationship then technology”. When I was younger I thought that I can change things by myself. That way of thinking lead me from time to time to be rude to people that not follow my ides. Well, I was wrong and I learn it the hard way. Now I now that you can’t win the battle yourself, you need others with you. In order to join others you need most of the time to hold yourself and to get time to help others see their mistake instead of argue with them.

2)      Don’t be look or in love with certain technology. Once I was Microsoft fanatic. It was Microsoft way or the highway. But I learn that it a mistake! You should listen and learn from every technology that you know, because each and every one of them has something to offer that you might take advantage of.

That the major one while Roy will finish his work I’ll be happy to publish the link.
