Thanks Steve, a very nice article. I remember the leaders that I had that gave me a hard time in my life and I remember everything that they taught me. There were also those that taught with love and patience and I also remember their teachings as well. It is funny that when a person look back you realise that each of these came at the right time of your life. Maybe it's just that they knew how you should be taught at that specific time in your life. Talking about ethics, I have had to protect the system that I helped to develop many times against clients that wanted to use it in unethical ways and us as IT people should always remain true to our ethics. Maybe we should also have an ethical oath to declare when we become IT people like the doctors with their Hypocritical Oath.
