...and they are better off with homegrown solution that no one wants to maintain???? Think about it. If I'm looking for a job and during the interview someone is explaining this homegrown solution and how I will have to get into the code and make enhancements/bug fixes. I'll tell them to stick it. How would you feel if I (as if I was your employer) decided that Jimmy Dorkheimer's Framework for ASP Remote Transactions (aka... FART) was the way to go? Now everyone get's to learn the inner workings of Jimmy's FART. After 9 month's of fighting over architecture and/or political bull#hit, you decide to get your resume floating around again. But, noone wants to hire you, because all you've been doing for the last 9 months is working on JIMMY'S GO##AMNED FART!!!! I left a promising future with an Internet Banking ASP because, after they were acquired by a larger Banking ASP (Unix/CGI shop), apparently I would now be writing the front end in a Markup Language that they had invented. I told THEM 'to stick it' and took a $25k raise to another dot com. That was over 2 years ago. When that dot bomb...oops...I mean not com decided to let 3/4 of the company go after Sept 11, I took a $54k raise to come here where I am now....but I digress.
