What a waste of time.

I am a strong believer of following the protocol but sometimes it is total bullshit. We had to make a small change to our production environment. It was just one line of code change which took me about 3 minutes to change (including the time for opening the file and closing it). Here is how it had to be done. First we set up a meeting with 8 jobless people, the architect, the zone architect, the tech lead (me), the quality manager, the release manager, the change manager, the project manager, and the business representative. Then we had to write up like 5 stupid documents (all the documents say the same). Then everyone has to agree upon testing the thing before a particular deadline. Now the Quality testing team is put to work. They have their own process to go about testing. Then we all meet again, and again, and again, and again…. It goes on... at the end, it takes me about 2 weeks to change 1 line of code. I totally believe in following the process guidelines to ensure quality but sometimes it is total WASTE OF TIME. Save money and time, end stupid meetings. I am pretty sure that everyone who works for a big corporation goes through the same bullshit.

Happy Monday!
