At the moment, I in a company where planning ahead doesn't exist.
They apply his principle to everything including IT.
In my area, Application Development - this is a very bad idea. I can't roll out perfect applications at first attempt, especially grafting on an existing system which works in reverse to what you want it to.

I've been chasing my tail for the last four weeks. Everyone wants old problems fixed and is finding new ways to keep me busy with new problems (or problems not found until now).

Sonds difficult. I was thinking about going in to IT in 1999 (year I graduated from high school), but switched to finance after the dot-coms collapsed during my first two years of college.

The job would be easier if people understood verbal specifications for IT people are the worst way to convey their message. Give me a big detailed written one and I'm happy, but no one every does that where I work.
