Re: Resistance to using RDi

Yes indeed.

In one notable case the manager revoked access and they whined and bitched for a week. Then realizing he wasn’t going to change his mind they set about learning to use the tool and take advantage of what it offered.

Long story short - the manager reinstated the SEU access after 3 weeks - and NOBODY NOTICED!

That’s the advantage of forcing it Buck - they don’t get to make a pathetic “I know this will be a failure” attempt. They have to make the effort. Of course as with anything management focus is important. Training makes a huge difference (yes _ i have a vested interest in that) as very few in-house “fans” are good at teaching and find it hard to adapt to what will work for the novice.

Yes - I have worked with more than one shop that actually did this.

I'm really trying to isolate my failure. I /think/ that the point is to
break the SEU habit? That if given no choice, the programmers will form
new habits with RDi and eventually get past their longing for SEU?
