I'd trust this all more if it was coming from the teams back up, rather than edict going down.

Also keep in mind this article is in the Wall Street Journal... take it with a grain of stock price PR salt... sadly developers and engineers at IBM are going to get the sh* end of that stick.

Anecdotally... we have a lot of IBM stuff here and had a consultant here last week teaching a class... he was an old guard IBMer, about to retire... every day he was here I was treated to at least 1 story about how great it used to be to work at IBM, and how those days are over.

Agreed. I hope that this involves empowering team leads to find best practices that work for their engineers.
