What do you guys think? What's good, what we can improve? Is the USP clear?

I feel this is a marketing gimmick and New Relic is hoping to get people to revisit the site and check the features.

Absolutely, spot on. This is the best way to avoid this situation. Thanks, I will put this in the blog somewhere.

I have followed the same process as mentioned by @2810. Worth mentioning something I wrote last year - http://pivotedreality.wordpress.com/2013/08/02/i-dont-like-c...

I like the concept. Could you explain what exactly "establishments on the ground" mean in your About us. Do you think this is scalable globally or is it only meant for US for the moment? Lastly what kind of leads are you talking about here - can you give couple of examples?

New comment by arijitraja in "What to do if you're just semi-technical?"

arijitraja — Fri, 14 Mar 2014 18:15:12 +0000

You have started a great discussion. I started as a software developer/analyst for IBM and then moved into developing and supporting financial systems for one of the largest banks in the world. I was never totally technical - wanted to know the larger picture and "chunk up" the issues/problems and it worked to my benefit. In my last role, I was doing exactly what you mentioned - bridging the gap between the in silo technical staff and the business. Metrics and Process improvement play a massive role - especially for companies which are relatively in the early stages of their maturity (< 10 years since inception)

Having said that, knowing how to write code gives you the ability to estimate your developers work and plan your workload/deadlines. Developers will feel connected as well knowing that you will understand their issues, joys.

New comment by arijitraja in "Why good managers are so rare"

arijitraja — Fri, 14 Mar 2014 17:52:27 +0000

I have managed people with different skills and demographics and have figured out being a manager is a natural progression in some countries like India and not many companies are bothered if the person truly is meant for the role. I have seen brilliant tech resources totally screwing up their career paths becoming a manager.

This is something which is less practiced in the UK. I have worked in the city and have worked with experts who have been in tech for 15 years and there is no pressure either from their within or from the management.

As the article very rightly cites - "Companies fail to choose the candidate with the right talent for the job 82% of the time"
