How does one fit a square peg in a round hole? Quite normally, I guess, if the diagonal measurement of the square peg is slightly less than the diameter of the round hole. The original saying does not deal with mathematics or even measurements - just the difference between a circle and a square. Were you to attempt fitting a round peg in a square hole (somehow doesn't sound quite right, no?) you would find the same problem of dimensions.
In the world of software development (call it by any name) one is faced with the pegs-n-holes dilemma - since it is all about people (oye, keep the thoughts above the shoulder!) , ideas, thoughts and tasks. I am a denizen of this forest, and I am tentatively trying to express myself in a medium created - but funnily, never used seriously - by other denizens of the same forest.
My job, as my KRA goes, is all about "keeping customers happy by giving them what they need, in the process making sure revenues keep coming in" (the "what" stands for software of the computer kind!). And the whole thing revolves around people, and in this blog I intend to put down incidents, observations and anecdotes about software and its creators.
E&OE, apologies if what I write strikes a wrong chord with anyone - "five fingers in a hand are not equal"
