Why I resigned from my job
-
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.

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.

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.
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:^)

I think it's funny that people are taking your post seriously - given that this is your alternate account for posting as different characters from people's work places and other funny stuff. Good job on the humor! :) Just so it's not a manifestation of multiple personality disorder! :laugh:

Sounds like everyone wins. Good choice.

That's still way too comfortable. Let's hook up a hexadecimal keypad and enter machine codes directly into memory. Actually, I have done this just last weekend on my very first computer :-) But still I see a point here: Often the younger fellows have their heads up in frameworks and the cool things the IDE can do for them and fail miserably at keeping control over memory usage or performance. Those rookies should spend some time with a tiny 8 bit computer with no more than 8 k RAM and everything would be nice and well.
A while ago he asked me what he should have printed on my business cards. I said 'Wizard'. I read books which nobody else understand. Then I do something which nobody understands. After that the computer does something which nobody understands. When asked, I say things about the results which nobody understand. But everybody expects miracles from me on a regular basis. Looks to me like the classical definition of a wizard.

Please name them, and tell me how YOU use them. I spend far more time waiting for the cursor to catch up to me in Visual Studio than I ever do in vi. VS also has me moving my hands off the main keyboard to either the mouse or the cursor keys, which again slows me down. It's as if I've poured tar all over my hands. Why would anybody want do that? - Owen -
