Nahh.. I'm not talking about hiring practices. I'm talking about good corporate stuff that's useful, such as marketing, and that sometimes gets discarded by us engineers. Just to remind people there's more to computing that programming ;). Jesse Kuhnert wrote: It's unfortunate that hiring pra

It's unfortunate that hiring practices work that way sometimes. I don't think we've ever hired a developer based solely on the technologies they use and are familiar with, but mostly on our quick and dirty "just how intelligent and geeky are you"? blitzkrieg of technical questions ;) Isn't google

I don't think it offends me, at least. But OS projects have to get *merit* to override "corporate standards" and that's what a lot of OS developers fail to see. Last time I check Struts wasn't an official standard, and Tapestry could go the same path, if it sticks with corporate values such as

Official Sun propaganda and being part of the J2EE specification ;). But that's the reason I quoted it. It's a "standard", not a *standard*. It's just to point out that lots of people will go out for that just because it has "corporate support" (yeah right!) and that Tapestry should acknowledg
