Hi.
The question is: Are a few good developers all we need? If this is the case
we can safely ignore to be ignored (we have them).
It is OK to be one of the few people to know the leading Apache development
system. But it has serious drawbacks. Where I work people are migrating
from server side javascript to java. With better Perl marketing they might
migrate from Perl/CGI to mod_perl and my work would be more fun (I do
consider changing my
job an option, but I like the people I work with). It is however
frustrating to leave work, get on the tram, take out my laptop and do it
better than I did the 8h before.
So do we want to be "Enterprise" and "Industry Standard" and such crap?
.
Opinions appreciated,
Joachim
