>You may have noted I used the expression "last six months". The company sank. The guru has abandoned ship long before that. Though, I think he was not a guru, he was an artist.
Like "con artist"? I have seen this happen to other companies I have worked for. A good VFP product went to VB and failed. Microsoft was happy - the company was happy. The developers opinion when the gods have made a decision has no value.
By the way my term for “artist” is “salesman” A salesman is a man or woman who can sell his or her mothers soul countless times and feel good about it. They have one thing in mind: The SALE! :)
Salesmen have no problem sleeping (developers wake up at 0200 with the “solution” to a programming problem) or looking at themselves in the mirror. Salesmen make good attorneys and politicians! :)
