I read an article recently, questioning a Silcon valley CEO purchasing a software company for what equated to approximately 750,000 per employee. He was being slammed by this business journalist for such a foolish purchase. His response was, "I would rather have 100 great programmers, than 1000 mediocre programmers".
Until now, I would have disagreed with the buyer. I would have cited that there are a thousand ways to skin a cat (sorry for the reference, I am an animal lover (extraordinaire), and we have three or four choices that I am presenting. I find it kind of funny, that I am the third person to respond.
Mauro,
I do not like c++ (albeit, from my legacy confrontations with c i.e. 601 null pointer error, and the value is "Microsoft...").
I do believe that you have an incessantly compulsive behavior (the need to figure it out/relate it/implement_it) for all things new.
I also believe that you have things that should have been, that are not.
Do not show me anything (save a demo).
