vb5 beta released, and...

[whynot]

hold up little dawgies!!! did some youngun say that thar IB got rid of thier infractions? call me a thorny cactus but why in a whisky eyed waitress in arizona would they get rid of that?!

Because it takes time to write the code for it.
There are other more important missing or buggy features in VB5.

 

[Digital Doctor]

why would they get rid of that?!

They don't use it that much on their car forums.

 

[cowboypudding]

well i think some sour donkey fell into a cactus and it stuck up thier butt to remove that

 

[BlackJacket]

Cowboypudding is too Cowboy...

 

[cowboypudding]

I seriously don't understand how with their supposedly "quality" developers they are showing something so... backwards to say the least. It's incredible, like how the world has changed so much the last years with lawsuits, more restrictive innovations, etc, that now you can release something super 'backwards' and still sell tons. I mean it's a step backwards from vB3, or even vB4. And I hope the devs that lurk around here from vB seriously smoke a joint or two and realize they have to do something. Unless IB already has chinese devs and just has the US/UK guys just going through the code. Then hell, I'd quit, working without motivation sucks.

Just sayin'

The Chinese do not seem to be so good developers that promised by IB.

What have the Chinese got to do with anything ??

I think he was referring IB outsourcing vB develeopment to China.

That never happened.

What never happened Paul?

He's saying Chinese programmers never happened, and he's right AFAIK. IB threatened to hire Chinese programmers but they didn't, they hired Indians instead. This is according to Kier's deposition.

Off topic and not a comment to Jake or anyone but... on moments like these... I have to say... There's nothing wrong with developers from China or India (I am from India!) as long as you hire quality. You get what you pay for irrespective of where you hire from.

Heh. I didn't think about that but you are right. There is a negative stereotype in play here. Of course when it comes to K&M versus outsourced developers there is no comparison.

Well, I was joking, I haven't sought to check whether IB has outsourced the development in China or not and yes, I was referring to the deposition of Kier (thanks for quoting Jake)
I have nothing against the Chinese or Indian or someone else, they all do a great job

Of course when it comes to K&M versus outsourced developers there is no comparison.

+1

I mean the outsourcing of coding to China.

As Jake mentioned, some of the template conversions were outsourced to an Indian company, with limited success by all accounts.

 

[DRE]

LOL @ both my last job and last forum software being outsourced.

They should keep that company to develop VB5.
Blame the Indians for VB5's limited success!

Probably even worse for poor vB5 ...
