Well thanks for making my day!

I've been self-employed as a "developer/lead developer" for the last 10 years (spent a brief period as an architect but missed the hands-on and took a rate cut to move back to being lead developer in that same organisation). The longest down time I've had between contracts has been 4 weeks (my choice - I wanted to go to New Zealand) so yeah, I still write code and people seem to be happy to keep paying me to keep writing code and (touch wood) renewing a contract has never been a problem - when I've left a company it's always been my choice.

Ian, you know, it's quite unusual in China to have old man like you still write code, there is an old saying in Chinese software industry, it goes like: if you cannot get promoted before the age of 33, you've got no chane in this trade, you should quit...

I think the problem for most of my clients over the last 10 years is they've typically hired all those wet-behind-the-ears youngsters who are too focussed on what's "cool" rather than what's cost-effective or what their customers want, so they hire an old fart like me to pick up the pieces of disasterous projects and mentor the silly young puppies

So, Ian, could you please tell me how many old men in your age who still write code in your country?

I love this video. I just wish it was a little longer .

One question, can we get that VisualBrush manupulation demo (the one with the sphere and the physics) posted? I'd love to switch out what was on that VisualBrush with a video .

You can get the "15 Puzzle" demo source code from Tim Sneath's blog

Re: Kam Vedbrat - How flexible will Longhorn's user experience be?

footballism — Sat, 22 May 2004 11:42:59 GMT

I have seen some longhorn demos,ya know,the avalon is pretty good in my fist impression.and the APIs avalon provides to developers is a little bit like those in asp.net,I mean avalon programming model is a little bit like ASP.NET programming model,ya know editing the XAML files is quite similar to editing the html files.and ya can do all your logic things by codebehinding,that's pretty amazing.but unfortunately I don't have any in-person experience with avalon(I'm not the guy in MS,and I'm not a MSDN subscriber also)
and longhorn will be released in 2006, I can't wait that long actually......
