What experience do you expunge from your CV?
-
You don't like .NET? It's a thing of beauty.

Anything to do with InstallShield or similar ilk.
You can lead a developer to CodeProject, but you can't make them think.

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?
Access Any DOS technologies. Crystal Reports And a second vote for InstallShield.

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.

Was it the BASIC you mostly objected to or the VAX? I worked for about 15 years in VAX/VMS with Fortran and FMS, some C in the latter years. Tim

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.

Any exposure-only technology. For example I mentioned 'familiarisation' with Ruby or Java, and suddenly I get pr**ks trying to recruit me to Ruby On Rails 'guru' jobs or Java architect positions. Bloody dim-witted CV robots, written by naive programmers who haven't a clue what a Rule-Based System is. And don't get me started on 'Active' advertising that tries to sell you what you just bought. Again and again. For three weeks.:mad:
