The dilemma that we face in Software Industry

In continuation to my earlier blog about colonization of the educational system, let me tell you about another dilemma that we face in the software industry.
From the childhood, it is being taught to us about the philosophy of "Do it yourself". The more advanced we go in studies, the more severe becomes the problem. In lower classes the teacher may ask the students not even to make a phone call to complete the home task. This way we enter the professional fields. And then suddenly we are asked to co-operate and collaborate. I don't know about other industries, but in software development this is very essential, because software development is a complete collaborative game. But it is very difficult to get rid of which has been injected into us from the childhood, namely "Do it yourself". Hence "my code, your code", "my bug, your bug" kinds of syndromes are very prominent in the software industry.
Is it possible to eradicate this disease without changing our educational system?
Probably then only we can give somebody a pure enjoyable software career......

Time

Who is the most powerful one in this universe? Is it God, is it Nature, is it inner-self or is it something else? I think the most powerful one in this universe is "Time". With time, a prince may become a pauper and a pauper may become a prince. We cannot stop the flow of time. It reminds me one conversation from the film "Waqt". Let me give a background of the scene. It was about a self-made man who became proud of his achievements. Then an wise man reminded him that although there is a very short distance between a cup filled with tea and the lips, but it may take years to drink that tea. And that became true for that man when he lost all his fortunes. Thats why I say "In whichever color Time has painted me, I am in that color".....

Colonization of our educational system

We all know about the colonization of our educational system during British Raj. We have produced more clerks and very few scientists. But it has created a more severe problem these days. Instead of getting a co-operative and collaborative educational system, we have got a competitive educational system. The tolerance level of the students and the society as a whole has gone abysmally low. I get shocked when I see the news that a student of class V has killed his fellow classmate in a brawl. We badly need value based education system to eradicate these kinds of problem. Then only we can say "Mera Bharat Mahan".......
