Another interesting blog post brought to you a SO profile link:
After sitting back and remarking "how true" this is (though don't be fooled by #5 on his "peace" list; that doesn't mean you're not at DEFCON 2), it's more interesting to take home Ryan's main point: "The point is that as an organization, you need to know what state you're in." That is important. Don't pretend you're 110% about quality when you're at DEFCON 2. Admit that you're cutting corners to make dates, and your team will be able to deliberately adjust. And if your company likes to live at DEFCON 2 all the time, don't give applicants the expectation and impression that your nuclear readiness oscillates. I've had jobs where the peacetime activities, for all practical purposes, never happened, unless you had #5 going from the list above (working extra hours). I will say that I've noticed that a job description with the phrase, "Must be able to multitask well," means, "Must be willing to live at DEFCON 2 at all times." It's just a shame how often folks are at Ryan's "war" time not because they have to be, but because that's the culture management has Stockholmed themselves into.
