I see the committee on the horizon. The SOA musings have been spreading like an infection for two years. The erasers being thrown over inheriting a Person that just has a name attribute vs building it right into the supposed child class. I see more time being spent in meetings and coworkers gathering in niches than actual productivity.

There's only one important part to the processes and applications we built: data. Protecting, serving, logging and preserving data. Nothing else matters.
