- blub 11y agoWell, he probably made him waste significant time learning a technology that was going nowhere. Reminds me of Nokia's words at Qt DevDays when they said they're 100% invested in C++ and Qt. I think one year later they royally screwed their entire developer community and switched everything to .NET with absolutely no way to port your code except by rewriting it. Luckily Qt survived, in no small part because it was open source. I guess the moral of these stories is to be careful when using languages and frameworks controlled by corporations and to focus instead on open technologies...
- sudioStudio64 11y agoMan, I'm not trying to be pedantic here...but Scott Guthrie didn't make him do anything. The level of anger expressed there is strange to say the least. The lesson there is to keep learning and stop trying to find silver bullets. What did this guy do join a WPF monastery and only practice WPF-fu without somehow becoming a better .net dev in the process? If you haven't picked up enough web skills in the last decade to be dangerous you must have been hiding somewhere. Time is only wasted if you let it be. I had to do some crazy shit in access years ago, but I'm not angry that the skills I learned building forms in Access 2000 aren't useful anymore.
