matts 21 jan blog post: The UI

Jan 21, 2008 2 Replies

seeing as how matt doesn't allow my posts I'll post it here..



While I am not quite as conservative as Matt about program development I was upset they went ahead and changed the UI for no particular reason than someone who doesn't use the software to make a living wanted everyone to be a MS zombie and thought it looked very 'pretty' Doesn't actually affect me cos I stopped sponsoring the quality farce some time ago.. but when I hear Jeff Ray talking delusional crap about the changes I see red My idea of a CEO is someone who doesn't have a blank screen (mind) Please guys just suck it in and sit on it.


hey bong-qweer, go play with your boyfriend cliff...and get the hell outta this newsgroup

ok I just watched the Jim Wilkinson interview...seems like a nice fellow... you know there is something actually quite disturbing about this stuff - and its this - if you strip away all the self justification and feel good crap the naked truth is they are all full well aware exactly what the issues are. they are exactly the same issues people from the community have been warming their ears with for years with no results so why oh why do we have this persistent paralysis that keeps good employees from getting on with what needs to be done? is there actually anyone in SW management who understands this is a technical service to professionals they are providing? all I am hearing is culturally sensitive blah more suited to discussing the annual growth targets for a chain store...
