Why VB.Net Sucks Today
-
Okay, we have John Simmons coding in VB and asking programming questions in the lounge. Would someone be kind enough to give me directions back to my own parallel universe? I'm sure I left the kettle on the stove, so I don't want to be away for too long...

Should we start a betting pool? How many days before John goes "postal" in his new job. :)

On the positive side, the average quality of questions in the VB forum has gone way up now. :)

I'm not asking a programming question - I'm complaining about VB...

Man it sucks having to learn new stuff all the time doesn't it? :rolleyes:

No - it sucks when you're forced to learn new stuff that in and of itself sucks...

"The staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - J. Jystad, 2001I've just finished spending a few days writing a VB.NET prog that emulates a web GUI (so people can play with it and point and click to see what happens, but without spending a month installing and setting up the infrastructure). I have to say that I actually enjoyed it, but knowing that it would not need to be upgraded or maintained (or actually do anything) gave it a somewhat liberating feel. By the way, since you didn't ask a programming question, I won't mention hitting Alt+F7 and looking through the options, or creating hidden forms, or anything like that.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
