:D There's a good way to test that. Write a note that you're boss is a dinosaur whose having the best part of his brain down the tail, and put it into the box.

Someone has bookmarked my last two posts up this part of the thread. Curious. There's nothing there worth bookmarking.

Nope. The joke just did not make me laugh. Thus I did not vote.

I figured that on your original post when I saw 2 votes and a score of 4.56, a newbie univoter stomped by a high rep responder. One of the reasons I don't get into voting wars and rep watching, I like to watch not participate. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

I agree with you in substance, but take a look at some of the responses through the eyes of someone that doesn't get sarchasm, and I'm strongly doubting that those that likes "sugarcoated drivel" gets sarchasm. I think you might agree with me that some of them come through as rude. You may also notice that most of the univotes I compensated wasn't the OPs, I just included him as I found some of the responses over the top. Light moves faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright, until you hear them speak. List of common misconceptions

James Blunt should add some music to it :)

No, certainly not. They have been constantly hiring in the last few years and are currently looking for a whole load of developers. The problem is that they can't make up their mind in which direction they want to go. We have teams for and against everything, but all of them are too small to tackle anything bigger. And by the time a team has settled on conventions, processes and perhaps some architechture, then it's time for our bosses to move on to trying out something else. Last year they threw together a team for a Java project. We had no Java developers, so everybody and his dog got a two week introductory course in Java and then they were expected to deliver their projects in four months. That deadline was set in stone, or else. At the moment it looks like the next big thing is something mobile. Up to now we have no developers with much experience with Apple, so it's only a matter of time until some poor guys get their introductory course and then are expected to produce great things in no time. This, of course, is also the reason for my situation. I have the great choice between staying with yesterday's great thing without any hope to get anything like support or resources, or I can keep on hopping to yet another great idea. Perhaps it's just the right time to move on. I'm invincible, I can't be vinced
