Not current.

If my impression from this and other sources is correct, a huge percentage of the developers time is spent in various meetings.


Actually, this is not true for most developers around here. Meetings are mainly the bread and butter of program managers and the like. Development managers are also big time meeting goers. For the developers in the trenches meetings are occasional in nature. Certainly not the norm. Remember, somebody has to write and debug the code that brings our products to life.

One of the great things about Microsoft is that developers are shielded from meeting madness.

My favorite line in the interview:

"Who knows what I'm committing Microsoft to?"



My favourites lines (paraphrased)...

1. I'd never worked on a functional software development team.
2. I build the best  development team I had ever worked on.

Does this mean that Chris *had* worked on development teams before - just bad ones?
