Come on everybody - lets piss our pants with excitment about *text
files*

I am so f.cking sick of the hype in this industry. How on earth did
everyone get fooled into being excited about XML.  Its a f.cking text
file that holds data for christ sake - BORING !!!!

I wonder if 10 years ago every on in computing got in a gay frenzy
about CSV files?  Why not, they are the same thing as far as I am
concerned.

This industry is pathetic. Every time I look at news some silly, self
important little f.ck has created some new stupid *technology* (yeah
right), that begins with the letter X.

And then came "Web Services" - what a joke. Great idea - if you can
find a useful application for it !

One thing you can rest assured of - the new thing will do "what you
could do before" but in "a different way".

I know I shouldn't feed the trolls, but please go back to your Algol-60
newsgroup and leave us in peace.

No answers to my facts though.  Your silence speaks for it's self.

Uhh, maybe because we can actually use it?  When was the requirement
introduced that said .Net had to be exciting, exactly?

BTW, if you are sick of it, get another job.  I'm sure a person of your
skill and talent would have no problem finding an exciting career in
either the food-services or housekeeping industries.  You get to wear a
paper hat and name tag and everything!

If you actually had a job 10 years ago where you were tasked with
moving data from one system or app to another, you would understand.

So what, just freeze all changes in technology circa 1996?  Do you
actually have a point?

See post on how you need to get a job.

Please describe how you were producing and consuming data for a wide
audience across the internet in an industry standard format 10 years
ago?

That's what I thought.

No backwards compatibilty. Now they plan to remove VB from it.

Yeah, I am getting bored of the word tag though, I would rather wear a
comma.

Everyone learns it, no-one uses it. Like lemmings jumping off a cliff,
pathetic actually.

CSV - Its the same thing without the bloat.
