That's why its nice to have a not-too-techie boss. I just throw all sorts of jargon at him until his head is about to explode, and then he just tells me to do whatever I want.
I hate to remind folks of fleet maxims:
What goes around, comes around.
Nothing was more fun than watching my former unterStumpenFumbler find himself being the guy who had to explain that while the new c99 code was all hot, slick and groovey, until the underlying vendor supplied vendor supported code up-rev'd from c89, it would be more work to try to hack and slash the project so that it all built in c99, rather than code their extensions in c89...
or as cj had said nearly a decade before
"i use to worry about management reading my
postings to talk.bizarre, till I started to
worry about my subordinates...."So folks might want to actually read Ferlinghetti's "Karma Repair Kit" and work on that 'plan b' - since it is possible you may live fast, and forget to die young.
Your mileage may vary, void where....
