Not an April Fool’s joke
April 1, 2009
Part of my general philosophy is that it’s OK to make fun of the work we do. That’s a somewhat contrarian philosophy in the public sector. About a year ago, some colleagues really liked my proposal for a massive UML-modeling exercise with vague promises of indirect benefits. When I told them it was an April Fool, some still didn’t get the joke.
It’s that time of year again, but I’m having trouble coming up with a too-good-to-be-true architecture innovation that would be funny to my wide spectrum of professional contacts. Since I’m now looking for the next contract, perhaps the marketing imperative is inhibiting my sense of humour.
