In the train, returning home after at least 48 hours of continuous emergency work for saving that dam**ed monetary institution from the impending disaster that was about to arrive by the bank's own decision for easy, faulty, cheap, ill-designed, quick and dirty software. They chose maximum profit through cost reduction. So they took the quickest solution for the best. And then... It proved to be (another) mistake caused by their insatiable appetite for profits, and we had to solve it. Within 48 hours.
And all the guys that participated to that horrible struggle to avoid the distaster were at the end only this: Totally exhausted!
For we had to solve all problems of the many years of ignorance, or perhaps even of the conscious preference for the quick and cheap profit in front of the lengthy but well designed processes. So we had to analyze the shortcomings and drawbacks and problems of all that quick and dirty software for monetary transfers within 48 hours. It has been: Either work and solve the problems in the next 48 hours and get your money, or get out of here with no additional cent in your pocket, no matter how long and desperately you worked. So we were all some kind of mercenaries, I guess.
And we did that work. That team has been a team of renegades, encouraging each other by the typical black humour, each of them really unconventional but extremely brilliant guys, who could solve any, I mean really *any* problem, by a simple and elegant change of the involved algorithms. What Zidane did with the football, those guys did with bits and bytes. I can only be glad for having had the opportunity to work with Marcus, with Stephan, with Andres, with Frank, with all of those guys that fell asleep only after the problems were solved.
So, returning home after that emergency situation I couldn't really focus onto anything at all, and this kind of cartesian mess on the image might perhaps reflect the nirvana state that caught us all after that incident. Perhaps this structure in dizzy focus catches a bit of that state after the work has been done.
Even this seemingly tired ,the structure remains strong in this game of shadows and lights. I think the shadows and lights are understood very well here. Very nice picture and good choice of Black and white !!
