Analysts & The Computer Industry
I used to think the Analysts were the coolest job to have. You got to talk to companies, learn what they were doing, and then form an opinion on where the industry was going.
Since I've gotten closer to the industry side that contacts these analysts I've grown quite disillusioned with what they get to do every day. A former manager of mine worked for IDC for years, and often jokes about how they just made shit up on a regular basis.
Never before have I seen such an accurate account of how idiotic some of the analysts can be, and how clearly they're entire paycheck is paid for by someone who absolutely hates someone else.
It reminds me of a recent Daily Show. Don't they know we record these things?
