As I dig deeper into how Connex work, its structure, I get more worried. It contains so many different components, so loosely structured and coupled that it is not even funny. Realy. It’s not funny. How it got to this point is out of my imagination. How do we get anywhere from here is also not an easy question to answer.
I will monitor the situation and I’ll see what happens. I think things will straighten out in 2008. I will decide whether I want to do this and we’ll get better, or whether we’ll just have to give up.
I like this position. I like managing other people, but I hate working on an overcomplicated projects. Connex is in that state right now. Things are just way too complicated. It’s almost no way out from here now, I think.
What I think we should do now is regroup. I think we should focus on 2 major things now: a client and a server. If things will get worse on any of the components, then we’ll have to regroup, but at this stage, we really cannot continue on too many fronts. We just don’t have enough firepower and knowledge. It’s just the way it is.
