I am very frustrated with the managers at work
-
We have been writing Smart Client applications for a year now and the business users are quite pleased. Today we were given a sizable project and the development director comes in telling us that it needs to be a web application. His reasoning is that he wants to make sure it will run on the hardware we have. Guess he got burned back when the switch from 486 to 586 happened. I tried to suggest that the needs of the users needs should define the application design and we should remain open minded to whatever technology fits. I spent the next half hour listening ranting about vb6 apps and how J2EE stops all of those bad decisions. I am ready to go back to consulting that way I can charge more and take longer to write web apps.

Good luck. BTW, I like b/s application.

People who say that they will refactor their code later to make it "good" don't understand refactoring, nor the art and craft of programming. -- Josh Smith -

That's why I've gone back to contracting. Working for 2 guys with a Classic ASP/VB6 application and their Sr. Developer had 2 WHOLE YEARS of programming experience PLUS the fact that they were paying about $15k BELOW market for my area. It definately makes a difference when you work for a manager who has actually SEEN a development environment. My current contract is much better, but I am getting to the point that I'm gonna need some benefits. However, being an employee isn't much different than being a contractor. You can ALWAYS find a new job!!
