Attrition at the Alma Mater
I am kind of wondering why my name wasn't mentioned as one of the "Nine Quiet Departures". :-) It is interesting though that one of the few technical leaders webMethods had on the payroll is no longer with the company. To be competitive in the software industry requires several key attributes, not the least of which is technical leadership. This is one of the reasons why Google is so successful... THEY GET IT. Over the past couple years, even after their celebrated IPO, they have attracted significant technical leadership. In addition Google is proving that there is not always a linear relationship between size and dysfunction. How? An aggressive combination of technical acumen and some good old fashioned discipline.
This is not to say that webMethods is not a good company. I believe they are. But there is a difference between being good and great, and the market can always tell one from the other.
