It's not supposed to be simple! Simple is for dorks. Simple is for cows and offshore know nothings. Speed and crispness without the effort of C, and not "how easy" is is to throw a grid on form with a select statement, should be the fair of a high achiever.

Now we all earn less and write dull slogging interfaces and kid ourselves that something brassy is as classy as gold! Golley Scmolley Mommie - I finally beat the "Frogger" game on my iPhone!

The speed of a record point blows select to the bottom of chum bucket.

We've come full circle - we now compete with pennies on the dollar underachievers off shore. The speed and seamlessness of our iterative and procedural craftsmanship has given way to pretending a spreadsheet slogged data through a select command is a program. Anybody can do that. IBM, MS - all those guys are paying 10 cents an hour to developers without out skills that can be fired on a dime if they don't share their kid sister's velvet glove skills with their manager.

America used to have the best software engineers in the world - now we fight over crumbs the offshore shops have to throw back at us because they can't do it, at any rate in any time frame.

Quit programming - become the chattel - a low iodine speck in the flock - a consumer - a nickel and dime commodity - and sloganeer to the hearts content all those Microsoft approved sound bite you've bought into over the years.

Go to Redmond - burp the Shrimp - look around - ahhh - this is the good life!

The project exchange employers are finally figuring it out. The first condition of their offer is "No Offshore" - "No Indians" - etc - etc. The only problem is that they think the prices they paid in Deli are acceptable here.

Sure - it's great to to be top of the heap writing littler more than a spread sheet all shiny and flashy with chrome plated "silver". Pretending as the king of the second rate project crowd, I suppose, is better than being ostracized by peers because you still wrote interface based on "browse" macros from your FPW projects you were building 15 years ago.

In the land of the blind, the one eyed man, is, indeed king of a domain where the illusion of knowledge is the mantra of ignorance.

Welcome to the Idiocracy - maybe we'll meet each other at a barbecue near a van down by the river.
