JP is truly one of the great thought leaders, many of his ideas were years, even a decade ahead of their time, there are things he suggested years ago that are only now starting to be thought of as new ways of doing things. In many cases JP was the reason people wanted to work for DrKB, he was the man behind OpenAdaptor released in 2001. He was driving open source in the bank before most people knew what it was. He stopped paying Microsoft and bought hundreds of Macs for his developers. The developers left other banks to work under JP. Because he had such high quality staff he was able to reduce head count and effectively cost. You really need to watch this if you're into open source or work for a bank. -John-

It is not an ivory tower job."). - Cameron asks, "What are the biggest factors that contribute to project failure?" Without hesitation, JP says, "an unwillingness to say 'no' to the customer."
