Very insightful. In my long corporate experience, corporate management refuses to acknowledge that writing software is a creative act of a creative brain. In fact, before my early retirement, they came in with something called methodology, which treated programming as something that you could script so that programmers could be interchangeable. The result, which I predicted, was that both morale and productivity sank to new lows. Just another sign that the beancounters just do not trust creative thinkers. When I programmed, my best work was done at night when there were no interruptions.
