RIP Scott Adams

I recently purchased his 2026 calendar for a family member who works in the consultancy world, they really enjoy it.

Starting my dev career in a big corporate telecom I used to attach Dilbert strips to the end of my presentations, sometimes people would laugh, others, normally execs didn't get the irony or commentary.

Then when I went to more modern and cool startups the same Dilbert comic strips still apply which I found hilarious.

A lot of our influences or heroes have faults and I hope we can all put them to rest and just remember Scott's great achievements with Dilbert and his many books on Management or Psychology.

I will just leave this scene from the Dilbert TV show, that describes the engineering curse:
