Right - I agree a lot of crappy programmers make horrible spaghetti code w/ visual studio. The cool thing about it is that it lets good programmers do stuff faster. Keep in mind I'm not a big M$ fan or anything - I actually did my best to avoid using their tools for philosophical reasons. I've just found I can do stuff a lot faster w/ their tools. I still like perl, but it takes me longer to debug it and it doesn't run as fast as c#. My big problem w/ M$ languages and platforms was that you had to host on a M$ server, which is crap. That's why I like the idea of having.NET work on linux.
You made a really good point w/ this comment.
You know - I'm a tried and true perl and open source hacker and believer. But then I got this job doing.NET and c#. It was hard at first because I've been of the opinion that m$ really sucks because they're a monopoly, they extort $ out of schools, etc. etc.
But in terms of pure technological merit, c# is a damn good language! Especially if you use the vs.net ide, you can get stuff done way fast. So keep an open mind w/ this language. It's very exciting to be able to build stuff using vs.net, and deploy on linux.
I'm curious to see how this goes, I'm working on somewhat similar software. To answer the question, I personally would help if I truly backed the cause.
If you bid higher, it shows you'll do better work. You guys ever had a client who doesn't understand this, and wants four months of dev for $1,000? What a joke.
If you like Sasha and Digweed, and Oakenfold, you must like trance. I have several friends who DJ both trance and house, and they tell me the label Moonshine is the very best.
Just had to urge anyone who hasn't read 1984 to read it... Television is like the little monitor they have in everyone's house, as are government information systems.
If you have good skills and don't see any openings in the 'help wanted' section, don't despair. Go through the yellow pages and build a listing of all the companies you want to work for. Customize your resume for the exact company you're applying for - don't spam them w/ all the same generic message.
Do your homework about the companies profits and other financials. If the company does all their information processing w/ email, network connections and other hacks, go to them and suggest to get a job working for them doing their much needed intranet!
Just a few ideas I've come up w/ on my own investigations...

you da' man, thanks for the laugh, :-) hahahaha
Seriously man! I love all people equally, but man, there sure are a lot of H1B workers, and unemployed natural american programmers...

Awesome! How does this ide compare to vs.net in terms of ease of use and speed of development? Thanks!
No - we don't like M$, we like good programming languages that let us get stuff done fast and help our companies stay competitive... :-)

Keep up the good work on this project guys!!

Hi,
If you like Sasha and Digweed, and Oakenfold, you must like trance. I have several friends who DJ both trance and house, and they tell me the label Moonshine is the very best.

peace out,
