>No, you don't need to be an MVP or write or speak to be qualified. I know many solid .NET developers who don't.
Perhaps you should tell Baird this <s>.
>As for JB, he is a good friend and a former co-worker. Yes, he can be a bit rough sometimes. He was brought in on a .NET project, which wouldn't have happen if they didn't feel he could get the job done.
There are all levels of developers. We have juniors too - it depends how tough the job is.
>Keep in mind, you did ask if I felt I was qualified. (Exact words:
"I suppose you are putting yourself in that category?")
And you answered. Not sure what the deal is here?
>If you have the onions to ask that, fine, but you have to be prepared for some responses.
If I wasn't prepared for responses, I wouldn't ask questions.
>Some people may be uncomfortable responding to a question like that, for fear of blowing their own horn, which may lead to others jumping in like it's DefCon 5.
Kevin, you clearly don't have any fear of blowing your own horn. Its a pity "Rambo" reverted to type. He obviously forgot to take his pill this morning.
