I'm not writing the same stuff. I've written over a thousand different custom applications using the same technology. That was my point. This environment is so tried and true and so effective, it still kicks ass after 28 years. Pretty amazing when you think about how much has changed.
shouldn't there be a work order processing standard solution for aerospace by now?
I'm sure there is. Just like there are blog, website, & CMS standard solutions. And plenty of people using them. I never see them because those people would never call me. Like many other programmers here, I imagine, we only see the customers who need something custom, almost always for good reason.
- pinaceae 14y agoso how do you keep trying new environments and after validating them return to your preferred one? asking cause 28 years is an eternity in regards of IT - or at least that's what we hear day in, day out.
- seanwoods 14y ago+1 for Pick. I've met several people who were/are Pick devotees. Also heard stories about how Dick Pick was kind of crazy.
- joe_bleau 14y agoMy mentor knew Dick, and I also heard stories!
- ianmcgowan 14y agoA shameless plug for people wondering "what is this PICK thing?" I host http://www.pickwiki.com http://www.pickwiki.com, in an effort to capture some of those fascinating (to me) stories. The guy that created it really was called Dick Pick. I wouldn't choose PICK for a brand new project today, but as Ed says, there's life in the old dog yet...
