"He says that .Net coders don't answer each other's questions. What's stackoverflow then?"
The first response in the comments secition is plug for stack overflow. The author didn't know that it existed.
- rbanffy 16y ago> The author didn't know that it existed. I find it quite telling. Every company I know of that blocks unauthorized websites, IRC channels and so on happens to be .NET (or other flavors of Microsoft) shops.
- pbz 16y agoThey block access even for their developers? Can't be... may as well blindfold them.
- StrawberryFrog 16y agoEvery company I know of that blocks unauthorized websites ... happens to be .NET But the reverse is not true - not every company on .Net blocks websites. I don't actually know of any that block. Blocking digg or facebook is one thing, but If you block Stackoverflow, there's no hope for your development practices.
- rbanffy 16y agoLast time I contracted for a hardware maker, I had to have two separate computers: one box where I had manager role, where I could compile and debug code (with Visual Studio), that sat on a network that had unrestricted access to the net, and another that could access the corporate Exchange server and the internal network. By default, all webites were locked out, but you could request access to what you needed, one site at a time, and the security folks would see what thy could do. It took me a month of signatures to get my second computer, the one with full Internet access.
