So, it’s Friday at 4:25 and I’m getting ready to go home. Which reminds me of the gap between the 24×7 expectations of the Web and most people’s 40-ish hour work week.
IT folks have long struggled with extended hours (as have 911 operators, emergency personnel, etc.), and some of them wear their pagers/cell phones like a geek badge. But as Web publishing and even applications and services become easier to create and manage, the human behind the technology is rapidly becoming a department staff member.
And he goes home at 5 p.m. Or, in my case, 4:27 p.m. After that, let’s just hope it works…
