The reason I criticized your post (and I'm not the only one)
is that I don't want a young'un to read this and believe that's the right way to be thinking about career or business decisions.
You interviewed somewhere that isn't for you. So try someplace else. Whining on the Internet about "teh M$" doesn't make you look like a brazen intellectual.
- dxbydt 15y agoArgh! If I'm in the midwest now can't I have worked in NYC before I moved here (which is what happened btw, now that you are so curious about my antecedents). And M has taken so many $ from me in the form of numerous OS updates & backups that I can justifiably call them M$ :) Should one be an intellectual to play around with scala ? Jeez.
