that is funny... kinda reminds me of some other person I knew that was so into their variation of programming that they wanted to do away with the database and have everything in flat XML files... seems nice at first glance... til you realize the complexity within a database we all take for granted...
guess my experiences say this: never work a job that you hate... If your boss is an idiot, you will hate your job. Management moves slowly and is far less likely to leave than staff... If people don't want to invest the dollars in projects, the clients will wakeup someday... well maybe when one of us pitch them and take the client away.. In today's business climate, you have to deliver more for less in most circumstances.. You have to prove value and be able to really figure out a path to ROI on a project... if you fail to do this in your business now, you are lucky... In the future you will be doing something else.... flat sites are dead... Brochureware is 1997 era.. Frontpage is fine for Brochureware... Frontpage's market share and position has eroded considerably. Tough market, but you might want to start looking like Doug said... -paris -----Original Message----- From: Douglas L.
