From Dave Obajano blog:
"The funny thing about a lot of the people who claim to be 'Enterprise Architects' is that I've come to realize that they tend to seek complex solutions to relatively simple problems. How else do you explain the fact that web sites that serve millions of people a day and do billions of dollars in business a year like Amazon and Yahoo are using scripting languages like PHP and approaches based on REST to solve the problem of building distributed applications while you see these 'enterprise architect' telling us that you need complex WS-* technologies and expensive toolkits to build distributed applications for your business which has less issues to deal with than the Amazons and Yahoos of this world? .."An interesting point of view about enterprise development is here on James McGovern blog entry More Thoughts on Ruby and Why it isn't enterprise ready! I don't know now if he has right or not I have to read the article carefully. But I tend to give him right, because at the enterprise level the managers are so conservative and nobody has time to evaluate and try new technologies , tools etc. if they are not sure (??) they have a profit.
They simple do not take the risk.
David Heinemeier Hansson replies "Boy, is James McGovern enterprise or what!" .
