Not my architect, just posted an interesting blog I read.

Link to Original[^] Peter's Gekko public Blog MyNotepad : Imho An architect should code. Period This has been said over and over again, but as long as it keeps happening it just has to be said again. A very common career path in IT "promotes" a coder over the years to a program manager with architect responsibilities. And being an architect they stop writing code themselves. The thing I see over and over again is that these people keep living in the programming environment in which they grew up. They did loads of work in VB 6 or classical ASP. When a new piece of software has to be designed, which quite often is supposed to do something similar to the things they built themselves in their heydays, they grab their old projects to demonstrate what they have in mind. Right now I'm facing an ASP.NET site which has to build dynamic pages on the fly based on dynamic sets of data. And the lead architect bases his ideas on an ancient asp site he built years ago. Given the tools of those days it is a well crafted product but in nature it is just plain old asp spitting out html top to bottom. Given today's tools we can write far clearer, more powerful and better maintainable code building an asp.net control tree and leave the rendering of the html to the framework. But our lead architect doesn't know this framework. The good thing about my lead is that he is very open minded and eager to learn about today's tools. But it would be so much better if working and coding with them would be part of his work. How can you be a good architect when you don't know your building materials or construction tools?

He's double checking your lie from the other day.

How about: "Since 1776, riding America's coat tails"

It's only been the #1 viewed video on all video sites for the past month. :rolleyes:

It's a place that you would be better off not considering. With that mentality, they will never be up-to-date. When you decide to leave that position, you will not have the skills that most employers are looking for.

It's about as boring as soccer to most Americans.

The difference between our countries is that he was allowed to speak to citizens in our country. Also, you can talk all you want about your views of our President. Here you have the right to voice your opinion. But before you try to put down this country, just imagine if the U.N. was in the Middle East.

Like 95% of CPians being able to read it?

A loose translation is "If there is no woman in your life, self gratification is your only choice." :wtf::omg:

What about Yankee - Red Sox?

Nah, those women just don't know how to keep their hands to themselves. It's definitely not a job for the faint of heart. Luckily, the pay outweighs the trauma of the constant groping. :rolleyes:

Wonderful. Just wonderful :^):mad::^)

Exotic dancer? :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Or just simply clueless

I watched an interview with Ed Koch (former NYC Mayor) and he said that under the law, NYC must give him a police escort. But he said they should do what Laguardia (another former mayor) did years ago when a German representative came to the U.N. He asked for Jewish officers to volunteer for the escort.

It's bike riding for goodness sake. After Lance, who cares about it anymore?

Yeah, those teddy bear breed look like their vicious :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
