I had those too. Just about any ASP.NET developer that we have on the local market are looking for MVC positions. Those looking for WebForms are between sparse and non-existing. Finding support for MVC around here is much easier than WebForms already, not to mention the near future. That was one such argument. Didn't work either :)

You weren't paying attention to the hierarchy of answers. It wasn't my post he was agreeing with.

I signed this small contract being hired as a specialist in ASP.NET MVC. I even removed mentioning WebForms from my CV, because I didn't want to deal with it anymore. And when the job has started, hallelujah, WebForms. Oh well, i'm almost over it, the contract is very short anyway, that's the only bright spot... Cheers!

It kind of sums up what Tim Corey said here just earlier, except for the dump boss part :) In my experience, at least every second employee thinks his boss is dumb :) The important moral aspect is if you say your boss is dumb, at least not to give up his name :)

Wonderfully said, thank you. The only kind of response I was hoping to get.

Show you where you first were bluntly rude and then condescending? If it is not apparent to you, then it is you who will have trouble fitting into a team. So stop pouring garbage on others.

Your notion of smart seems dubious. I want to do what I believe is right, both technologically and morally. I do not want to screw up the client and do it just for money. And no, the customer isn't asking to rewrite anything, he asked for a brand new product, a new public website, from A to Z.

...and thence came haters... :) Note to you - my client made 0 investments into the WebForms. And to start today with webforms in developing a public website that's supposed to scale, and to be a new business direction, is a dumb-dumb idea. I developed in webforms for a few years before i started with MVC, so you won't sell this crap to me again. Eating up traffic on constant swaps of view state between client and server - no, thank you.

I have been developing in ASP.NET MVC since version 2, and now in 4, and was so happy about it, never looked back at WebForms. And now, my new client is insisting that I use WebForms for their brand new public website :omg: I tried to approach them several times, explaining how wrong that is to even consider something like this, and how WebForms are inferior to MVC, but it all fell on deaf years :mad: Their boss is just too dumb. Apparently, he heard the word WebForms before, and never MVC, and my arguments to him were nothing, he only accepts the idea of him being right, period. The things us poor developers have to do for money... X| In Russia we say: Who uses a press iron to hammer a nail?

I get just about every of my posts downvoted here, even this one: The spirit of the Lounge[^], which says a lot about the kind of people here. Just follow that link ;)

I feel my profound thinking is beginning to betray me at 3:30am, so I just wanted to say - thank you, Bill. The descent was by foot, same as ascent, no parachutes on the way down, no helicopters on the way up :) later ;)

Well, since you bothered enough to publish it here, I thought you'd want a suggestion. Other than that, why do you want trackers to screw up? Do you think it will affect search relevance much?

Try to create a good incentive for her to start using her own profile, like: - Use her favorite picture of herself as the profile icon, and something ugly on your own, like yourself after a sick night-out :) Use similar idea to customize the desktop background. - Pick up a theme palette that you'd like but she would hate, plus the other way round, and set two profiles accordingly. - Set up some funny apps and things she'd like, but only on her desktop ;)

It felt a little sudden, to switch off PC and start climbing just 20 minutes after :) While on the way, I lost my breath completely about 5 times, which told me I badly need more exercise. I braved it wearing just a t-shirt, for the weather below felt great, but as I made it half way I knew I was in for a bit of suffering for such stunt. I got caught by rain while I was 2/3 of the way up, sat it out under a rock, catching my breath, and when I got to the top, the wind was storming, felt like 10C less than at the bottom, and the sun made no difference. When I got down, I drove to the nearest pub for a glass of hot whiskey, to chase off a possible cold, not sure if it helped enough, *cough* :) It was a great day, I took a few nice pictures. Maybe I should publish them as a separate message :) To answer your question about Monroe, the link was right there, on that page, pointing at the answer: Marilyn[^] ;)

I also did the unthinkable today, climbed up a mountain of Sugarloaf[^]. It is about 15 minutes of driving from where I live. Took some magnificent pictures on the way, wish I could enclose them with the message...
