I know I wouldn't enjoy working on something like IMVU because it seems so childish. I also probably wouldn't waste my time making a deployment system or unit testing it.
I might joke about it in person over a beer, which is perhaps the analog equivalent of a casual tweet.
The funny thing is that this is coming from Jeff Atwood, who blogs with pride on his use of MS and .NET technology. In the circles I mix with that is not something to be proud about or admit publically!
- axod 18y agoI would really enjoy working on IMVU. It looks like there are some really interesting software problems to solve, and it's making real money. Working somewhere like twitter would be horrible. They've gone the whole "hype it up into its own bubble" route. I guess if you don't like working on things that are used by kids, then that's up to you. Look at http://www.neopets.com http://www.neopets.com also - hugely successful. When you see kids using these things it's pretty cool.

What part about using a well designed language and platform with excellent tool-support should he be ashamed of? I mean, he is obviously acting like a douche here, but if you are going to attack him for something, at least find some valid reasons.
