School Sends Child's Lunch Home After Determining it Unhealthy 554

halfEvilTech writes "A North Carolina mom is irate after her four-year-old daughter returned home late last month with an uneaten lunch the mother had packed for the girl earlier that day. But she wasn't mad because the daughter decided to go on a hunger strike. Instead, the reason the daughter didn't eat her lunch is because someone at the school determined the lunch wasn't healthy enough and sent it back home. What was wrong with the lunch? That's still a head-scratcher because it didn't contain anything egregious: a turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice. But for the inspector on hand that day, it didn't meet the healthy requirements."

Instead of running - change things. Take it one step at a time. All these tools are valuable, but you can get by without some. Personally, I would start with Version Control, follow up with system/regression testing, then unit testing, continuous integration, and finally deployment process. I've never been in an environment with continuous integration. It hurts, and I'm trying to change that, but I've been picking my battles carefully and not pushed very hard on that one yet (challenges with integration into our version control platform). Don't run from the company, unless they're unable or unwilling to accept concrete proposals for changes. But be very cautious as the new guy. You don't want to continually annoy folks with your shiny new way of doing things. Be patient, research the reasons for each proposals, and try to work each one in over time.
