Why I resigned from my job
-
I have been with my current company for 35 years. For 35 years I have encouraged use of open technologies at my company. Unfortunately, the programmers these days do not enjoy to work in open technologies. They rather prefer drag and drop programming offered by tools such as Visual Studio 2010. Programmers are reduced to drag and drop, and cut and paste machines. I can't bear this any more. I so long the days of vi, emacs, debugging by sprinkling code with printfs. We have moved so far from those days that I have to give up now. It is sad! I am now moving to full time job of being a basketball coach of my kids basketball team.

If you think VS is simply drag and drop then frankly you should leave since you do not have the faintest undestanding of the technology. I do a little VS work and even understanding the proper use of collections takes a certain amount of work.

Nonsense! IDE's are too fancy as it is. Let's all program in assembly language and pass it off to a compiler using the command line! Productivity is WAY overrated.

I still do that with C# (more or less); Visual Studio is purely optional even for Microsoft development.

This sounds like a good decision and probably a relieve for both you and your subordinates. The "drag and drop" technologies which exists from some 20 years and are intended to simplify the development of the UI and help programmers to focus on the business logic, have nothing to do with your rant...and vi and emacs?!? Are you serious? The dispute which one is more crappy died a decade ago with the conclusion that they are both a pile of crap. There are more humble and far more superior text editors around for both Windows and Linux.

Assembler? Pah! Keyboards are for wusses. I remember keying in bootstrappers on an octal switch bank. That was in the days when the in-joke about why computers came in big 19" racks was so that we could fit a bean counter inside each one. What? It's 4pm? Time for dinner and off to bed! Creak.... E:^)
