On your last paragraph...
People do come around. Eleven or twelve years ago I used to thrash one employee for stretching the envelop a bit too far. At the time he was trying some things that I thought were a bit far out there at the time:
- UIM. Didn't help that it would occasionally die with some obscure error that he couldn't duplicate and just accepted as an anomaly that was going to sometimes happen. (Who else was going to figure out UIM?)
- CODE on OS/2. After a week or so of not getting that to work it was time to drop back, I thought.
- Some third party product to do free format RPG as a precompiler.
- Save while active. No journalling. No syncing. MONMSG if the active object still couldn't be backed up, just skip it. (More common in earlier releases.) After a few consecutive nights of skipping the item master...
He went from being an employee that sometimes presented DDS classes at COMMON to quitting and going to the PC realm. Last I knew he had a few people working for him doing consulting.
So, while you all may think I play it free and loose, others may not.
