  • C CatchExAs

    With 10 plus years of software engineering under my belt, I've worked in many companies using a lot of different technologies. Whilst some were a joy to work with, there are some that I never want to see or be associated with again. To that end I tend to not list the following in the hope that no one expects me work with them: Web development (HTML, JavaScript, CSS) Visual Basic 6, VB.NET, VBA or any derivative language SSIS Perl Any in-house developed DSL LabView AutoSys What are yours?

    Anything to do with InstallShield or similar ilk.

    You can lead a developer to CodeProject, but you can't make them think.

      You don't like .NET? It's a thing of beauty.

      C# is great, VB.NET not so much as I may as well slash £100 a day off my rate. Same for ASP.NET :(

        That reminds me of some work I did with WiX which felt needlessly painful :(

          That falls in the category of "similar ilk" :-)

              COBOL and derivatives. I have hundreds of year experience with that(those). I actually love javascript and even VB.NET.

                I think I will have to pull MFC from the mix even though I have written over 1 million lines of MFC code on paying job. I mean I don't recall writing a single line of MFC since 2008. These days I am primarily a Qt developer.

                    VAX BASIC Non-development jobs I prefer to leave in stuff I don't like (e.g. VB.net) just to show breadth of experience and willingness to try new things.. I'm doing mostly SSIS now and though it's not fun (nor even a language), I'll still include it.

                          The BASIC. Though actually I bought a MicroVAX 3100 specifically to experience the VAX BASIC interactive environment again. I never used Fortran outside college. I worked with VAX and Alpha VMS systems from 1989 until 2002 -- mostly with C. The VAX BASIC was only on my co-op job -- because that's what the boss knew. OpenVMS is still the greatest operating system available.

                                    Well I suppose I could repeat the process I used to make a X| of X| 's to be 3 levels deep; but even if it didn't make your browser choke you'd almost need a 40k screen to see it all. :doh:

                                    Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

                                        With 10 plus years of software engineering under my belt, I've worked in many companies using a lot of different technologies. Whilst some were a joy to work with, there are some that I never want to see or be associated with again. To that end I tend to not list the following in the hope that no one expects me work with them: Web development (HTML, JavaScript, CSS) Visual Basic 6, VB.NET, VBA or any derivative language SSIS Perl Any in-house developed DSL LabView AutoSys What are yours?
