Stress Reliever

Its very different when you write scripts for business and for research.  Personally, I love to work on research projects since its more lax, and it definitely follows SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle).  I’ve tried working for both kinds, and I say, business related developments are far more stressful.

Here are some of my reasons why they are more stressful than research projects:

  • there are no Technical Document whatsoever
  • there are no turnover materials
  • there is no changelog, and no code repository
  • testing is tedious, and it gets skipped most of the time
  • deployment is always due yesterday
  • there are limited number of testers or none at all
  • resources get stumped, rejected or pressed with funding
  • feature requests don’t get queued or discussed
