Microsoft and Classified Ads

Journal started Mar 13, 2004


Here is how the advertisement went: Programmer ...must have proficiency in SQL and Visual Basic language on the Windows platform. Experience developing web-based applications using ASP and/or ASP .NET is highly recommended. Specific experience with SQL Server and MS Access would be beneficial, as will overall troubleshooting skills.... We publish medical information for physicians and pharmacists....

Here is how the advertisement should have gone: Programmer ...must have proficiency in database usage and/or admin and interpreted languages, platform open to suggestion. Experience developing web interfaces to programs using W3 compliance and CGI, knowledge of HTTP User Management is highly recommended, as well as overall troubleshooting skills.... We publish medical information for physicians and pharmacists....

And that is why Microsoft... is evil. -.-

:grumbles: The programs built to hide the functionality of the interface are more complicated than the stuff they are hiding.
