Chris,

I kind of like being embedded in the development team. They're much
easier to work with if they think you're one of them.

"Deploy" is one of these military weasel words and short be resisted to 
the end. Just as transport has become logistics.

What are these techies going to call corrupt data when the going live is

a disaster? Collateral damage? When they trash user accounts, are they 
going call that friendly fire?

If they want to use military terminology, form a resistance and go 
underground.

Jeeze, next thing they'll embedding tech writers in the development 
team. I feel sick.
