[Spotted in Smalltalk Tidbits, Industry Rants > http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/blog/blogView?showComments=true&entry=3287310973]

The whole SOA myth makes for a great sales pitch by IBM types to high level 'architect' types whose job involves little more than doodling with crayons and going on IBM sponsored golfing trips. It does not, sadly, translate well to gruntspeak. us grunts are simple folk, we like code examples, we like concrete classes, and by god, we like xml. Anything else and most of us will be flailing about helplessly trying, and failing, to relate to the subject matter.
