Welcome to IWETHEY!

New No Jobs above Code Grunt
for one. Thus my recent departure.

Local VC's are paralyzed and don't invest in anything. Impossible to start a tech company there. It is the center of telecomm (QWEST, ATT, Sprint, MCI, TimeWarner, Comcast all have HQ's there) but this industry is in the crapper.

Otherwise, I rather like it there.



That was lovely cheese.

New Re: No Jobs above Code Grunt
Yep, I'm a shell grunt. I like it, but it's the same thing I was doing long ago.

Nothing ever changes in corpworld. Now the issue is straight EDI vs. XML - or as I call it, EDLie. An EDI record for a simple transaction is almost the same size as the transaction - a few lines. The EDLie XML is almost a page long of retina-stretching angle brackets.

There is always some pointless controversy in which the shitty idiom attempts to displace the better one, without any value-add and with much value-subtract. The shitty idiom always wins.

It's like the Western world is going insane.

New Simple explanation for that.
All standards committees for that kind of stuff have telephone company guys on them. Their purpose is to make sure what is transmitted is as long as possible.

In not so few words, an AT&T guy explained that to me.
