Dependencies - be humble

November 2, 2019

In any type of development, or any form of complex systems, you will always have dependencies to others. Dependencies will be in the whole range, from the obvious to those that you only know when they hit you in the face. This is also the case for others that might have dependencies to you, so be humble and helpful when a dependency has been identified and try your best to help.

Comic, panel 1. A boss in a red tie with crossed arms: “You have to deliver the sourdough bread now!” Two bakers: “But, but we havn’t received your new super sourdough yeast yet..”

Panel 2. The boss stands in front of a jar of yeast with a stop sign and a sign saying “Classified”: “It is still being developed.” The bakers point at it: “But your bread is delayed and we need to deliver it.”

Panel 3. A baker: “But we need the sourdough yeast to bake the bread.” The boss, angry: “Use what you have.”

Panel 4. The bakers: “Flour and water?” The boss, walking off: “That’s the spirit.”
