禅宗和计算机维护艺术

禅宗和摩托车维修的艺术是我最喜欢的书之一。什么摩托车是pirsig，计算机对我来说。他花了几个小时滋补摩托车，我花了几小时的时间在电脑上修补（或者随着情况的网络）。Pirsig表明，摩托车维修可能是沉闷和乏味的或可令人兴奋和令人愉快的。这一切都取决于内在姿态或kama的存在。在此讨论方面，我将计算机维护等同于信息技术（IT）。我已经徘徊在这个博客上的这种哲学讨论，因为我需要用计算机维护艺术的方向表达我的幻灭，从大铁的美好旧时代取代了笨拙的弹簧小工具的现代时代。实际上，小工具并不是那么多，而是人民，过程和伴侣周围的伙伴。我曾经偶然发现了一句话，源头逃脱了我，“在极端我们的发展中，我们维持的正常情况。”我最初认为这是一个很好的说法，因为它鼓励一个人全力以赴，以所有费用获得你想要的东西。 It seemed to justify the 70 to 80 hours working per week, the never ending cycle of IT changes on week-ends and evenings, the extra tweaks and value adds, etc. B0110ck5! It is not possible to always put your family and yourself first at the expense of all else but it is absolutely incorrect to substitute and place your work first! To do that sucks the value and existence out of your life. Normality is desirable and is where we find enjoyment and satisfaction. Many people point out that in war situations, we find the most technological advances occurring. This might be correct, but truth be told no IT job should be a war zone. It is when IT is sold as such that I am driven to disillusionment. Peace and normality are the great motivators. If it is not there and we have not experienced it then we have no clue about what we are fighting for when the real battle should actually find us. I thus believe that the scales of life are balanced to good. That which is evil and bad is overcome. The development that occurs in extremes is evil. People become rude, unashamedly curse their fellow colleagues, ridicule, criticize and have behaviour that is borderline psychopathic. There is no loyalty and morale in this. Who would make sacrifices in such an environment? As Pirsig suggests, the key to a higher quality of life is a blend of the romanticism and mechanics - the good of Zen and the good of the Art of computer maintenance.
