Yes, thanks - have done that now. Also Ubuntu doesn't have Helvetica Neue installed natively, so I change the body to fall back more gracefully to sans-serif: body * { font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; }

I think a personal black-list would be ideal initially as those most motivated would be most helped, i.e. the majority of people who might not care about the status quo are then not impacted at all. As mentioned above, then introducing the

What would be their motivation for that? It seems like a very different set of cultures, and it's not as if the stock-holders are revolting (no pun intended). Personally I'd prefer some good healthy competition in mobile/tablets/HTML5 - as

I too like both, but as you tell from the post, I use less C# recently for web development. With the C# ecosystem there is more stability and often better introductory resources for learning. Most innovations will come out for .Net via Micr

Ah, thanks for that. I thought I might have missed them, but the symbols/hash convention is something I'm growing used too.

That's the truth. I think it's better to replace any arbitrary small monetary value with 'Will Actually Open Wallet'. Once you've got the perceived value of someone willing to open their wallet then other things can start to fall into place

Thanks. It's more the case I have the opportunity, as I'm in start-up mode again. However hard I tried to lay out a balanced case on my thought process I still expected a bit of a 'Why does he hate Microsoft?' reactions. I'm living in a hou

With topics like these I think people project a lot of their own decision processes. I enjoyed writing it, and if people get some sort of reaction or thoughts out of it then I'm happy.

I certainly didn't think I was bashing Microsoft or dismissing paying for all software. As for why people are writing these, I'm not sure - for me it was just a 'I'm writing stuff on other stacks now, here's the blog'.

That's still a pretty big single thing though.

I should add that when I worked for others then license costs seemed more ok and a little more abstract. Now I pay wages then I'm less keen on those SQL server per processor costs. I hope what I wrote in the blog didn't come across as visce

Fair points, cathartic is probably the wrong word - how about 'draw a line under'. I don't think Microsoft is bad to want to make money, more that the choices around now make it a different dynamic around web technologies. I'm not sure why

by daviding 16y ago
Probably old news for a lot of people here, but a cathartic piece for me to write. It's hard not to come across as partisan, but it's a great time to be in software.

Agreed, it is good to see someone advocating this. Of course, an even more moral thing to do would be to make it legally binding from the start, as in just use a 6 month cliff vesting period. If you're a founder or VC that would give a prop

Agreed, in fact they seemed to 'talk up' the future would be HTML5 so much that the Silverlight lack of mentions got a lot of (Silverlight) developers quite anxious [1]. I don't especially want it to fail, as the market is ripe for competit
