Not to mention the fact that Microsoft is a customer oriented company, they are aware of what the enterprise is asking for.
Somebody knowing 20 languages does not necessarily make a good employee. What the enterprise wants is exactly what VS has been giving them for the past years.
Sure, as the enterprise is escaping IBM-isation of the workforce you can see a bit of a shift in perspective (evidenced by changes in VS), but nothing so drastic as to actually decrease "productivity".
The point here is that the article has the wrong name, the title should be "How enterprise lives with the programming world".
- rbanffy 16y agoThe real question here is what kind of programmer wants to be limited to whatever "the enterprise" asks for.
- georgieporgie 16y agoProbably the one making consistent money off "the enterprise". Mind you, I don't even know what the enterprise is. All I know is that I've shipped a lot of software, and really enjoy using Visual Studio.
