   The argument about closing rural dealerships is silly. Dealerships make their money servicing cars and not from selling them. So there will always be a need for service centers in those rural areas as long as the OEMs keep selling enough ca

   I've only used static languages and therefore never had to make unit tests. Unit tests should exists for certain business rules, not every line of code.

   Weight gain has nothing to do with calories in calories out. It is controlled by blood sugar and insulin. Read the book "why we get fat" about how our bodies work if you want to learn more.

   I don't know the answer to that but they have a low cost website option called Azure Websites that would probably work and be much better than dealing with blobs.

   Visual Studio has built in Explorer tools for viewing and uploading data. It works pretty well. There are some other tools as well. But I agree it should be on their website too.

    I prefer to use PayPal on websites that accept it so I don't have to go find my wallet. I buy stuff on Amazon instead of other sites because it already has all my info and I don't have to type it. Making processing payments as sim

    Just because a competitor does a certain feature or something a certain way doesn't mean they iterated quickly, perfected it and you should copy. It could also be that they simply have enough customers they are scared to change anythi

    Having frameworks is great. But you still have to type code to use whatever those frameworks are. Having intellisense is critical for any IDE. How do I know what methods exist in your framework without intellisense? Without intellisense yo

    I couldn't agree more. Paying retail brokers is a rip off. Low cost ETFs are the way to go. Buy HDV ETF.

    I don't think it takes 3-4 times longer to do something in a web app versus a WinForms app. It all depends on what you are doing of course. Simple grids and data entry type input stuff is simple to do in web apps.

    What?? Visual Studio 2013 just shipped a week ago. They have released 5 versions of the MVC framework in the last 3 years or so. The new async/await stuff is fantastic. EF6 is new. SignalR is new. We get new Windows Azure SDKs every 3

    Yeah and the costs are more like $1000 a year vs 10, 000 so it only takes a 1 percent improvement. I don't know the exact numbers. But I know your example is an order of magnitude off.

    Why not just not partake in all of these startup events and meetings instead of moving? I have the same opinions as the author about all the startup noise and groupies here in KC. Which is why I avoid most of them.

    I think this is very true. A lot of software engineers are very smart technically but are not good at designing products or understanding user experience. Everything is just 1s and 0s to them and rigid. I think the metaphor of a mural is a
