Not as much as the Ceylonese! :) Perhaps it's just that they want you to know they're not those evil Muslim Pakistanis. Sri Lankans are mostly Buddhists and less than 10% are Muslims. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov

You're picking a tiny hill to die on. Your choice, but think about it some more. - (Another Scott) - (4) - Nov. 6, 2015, 10:39:22 AM EST

So translating your attitude - (lincoln) - (3) - Nov. 6, 2015, 10:49:06 AM EST

You're thinking as a "programmer", not a "developer" - (pwhysall) - (36) - Nov. 4, 2015, 11:30:55 AM EST

If you are doing Agile (or abortions thereoff) - (boxley) - (35) - Nov. 4, 2015, 12:14:46 PM EST

And releasing tons of buggy code, iteratively. -NT - (mmoffitt) - Nov. 4, 2015, 03:11:59 PM EST

How often do you attend these meetings - (lincoln) - (1) - Nov. 6, 2015, 10:36:31 AM EST

Stop right there. - (pwhysall) - Nov. 6, 2015, 10:46:33 AM EST

Because being a developer requires communication. - (malraux) - Nov. 5, 2015, 10:39:10 PM EST

I am amazed it took this long into the thread - (crazy) - (17) - Nov. 6, 2015, 08:52:36 PM EST

It went over my head. - (Another Scott) - (2) - Nov. 6, 2015, 09:59:00 PM EST

Nope, it's pretty offensive. -NT - (malraux) - Nov. 6, 2015, 10:58:51 PM EST

Christ! Me, too. Completely missed it. Thought it was a reference to "dot Net" -NT - (mmoffitt) - Nov. 7, 2015, 03:37:13 PM EST

"This long into the thread" - (malraux) - Nov. 6, 2015, 11:00:48 PM EST

The "dothead" escaped me - (pwhysall) - (12) - Nov. 7, 2015, 03:01:17 AM EST

Makes sense - (crazy) - (11) - Nov. 7, 2015, 09:08:25 AM EST

It is nowadays, and his name is Apu. - (CRConrad) - (4) - May 1, 2017, 06:14:53 PM EDT

What a strange thread to reappear in... - (Another Scott) - (3) - May 2, 2017, 12:53:41 AM EDT

It has its own logic. - (CRConrad) - (1) - May 2, 2017, 01:39:39 AM EDT

A quite Jungian synchronicity, too - (Ashton) - May 2, 2017, 11:37:40 PM EDT
