On time. Business pushes unfinished and partially tested features out all the time. And they get concerned when there are production support issues. It’s a compounding issue, to the point everything is a rush and an emergency. Pure chaos every single day.

Management which prefers to recruit only “offshore” talent, believing the offshore talent is inherently superior to all other talent that is not from their county. Discrimination? Yep. Happening anyway? Yep. Obvious? Usually, but it’s subtle. Anyone important taking notice? Not really. The higher ranks from offshore support the offshore model first.

Give a listen to “Dub Side of the Moon” by Easy Star All-Stars. Brilliant!

Clearly the album was written while watching the movie. Music was carefully timed to sync with a 32 year old movie. The movie ran on network television in the US only once per year back then. Maybe in Great Britain it was aired more often? Otherwise they wouldn’t be able to practice very often.

Seems to me the same kind of thing is happening to the music industry. Streaming is great, however having “too many choices” sometimes feels overwhelming. Corporations want to make a profit, so naturally they will seek out the next big streaming hit and market it to their end users. How do they do this? Algorithms, popularity, number of plays, demographics, etc. Eventually, a few big names get most of the attention. And the user base with the highest number of (paying) listeners is catered to above everything else.
