A nifty language in some ways, but hell to debug, and I am not allowed to use jQuery (because it supposedly slows things wayyyy down... but maybe its because of Windows Server :-) The same with C#. I still great prefer C++. I think C#'s overloading of "." to be a scoping operator (like C++'s "::") and its use of "properties" greatly detract from the comprehensibility of C# code. And those freaking containers! Talk about your FAT INTERFACES!!! How many freaking member functions... er, I mean, methods, does a class need? And the occasional "zoning out" of web applications while they clean up the garbage. And last, but not least, Visual Studio not hitting Javascript breakpoints, unceremoniously stopping the web app, IIS Express crashing... I thought this stuff was supposed to be RAD. Not even close. -- Debian Hint #9: If you need to know what version of Debian you're currently running, look in /etc/debian_version or use 'lsb_release -sc' command. If you want to know the codename for that version (for example, 5.0 is codenamed 'Lenny'), check this URL: http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-ftparchives.html#s-codenames |

Job postings favor jobs with high turnover rates. > Stable jobs don't rate very high in such a survey. Good point. A guy I know has spent the latter part of his career jumping from job to job, always doing the same kinds of projects. It's apparently a great way to leverage a good pay increase every year or so, if you find the right locus of projects :-* -- You love your home and want it to be beautiful. |

I once knew a guy who did just that, but his last high-paying job was funded only because of the political power of a particular high-ranking official in a foreign country. When that official lost a political fight, his project lost its funding, and he couldn't find anyone else willing to pay him anywhere near as much as they had been paying him. In principle, he could restart the process, but that hasn't worked very well - partly because the Great Recession intervened. |

Merriam Webster has a definition of cloud computing -- but it's not a good one in my opinion. They say the term goes back to 1996, so that much is helpful. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cloud%20computing |

For small company or individual it is even worse idea to gossip about innovative work not yet ready. > > > There are no "cloud computing". You snipped most of my point. That is false attribution. > but it's not a good one in my opinion.

"Clouds" and "cloud computing" are not synonyms to "rented servers" or "internet services" but are deceptive marketing hype about rented servers and internet services. |
