Edit wibble
on second thoughts I cba getting involved in this ><
good call lol
I agree.
Sam is very good at Java, JSP etc, no question but in terms of the modern web and best practises etc he has not got a blind clue. Fair enough but for the people who do (which is most people in the web industry who are half decent and beyond) he has no respect for any of it. Does not even want to acknowledge it. like here coming out about not needing the firefox addons when I as I did easily showed him he is in the group of bad developers who does not. Since everyone else does and recommends that you do.
Same with the thread how he was rifling off about optimisations and them being pointless, again that falls into the bad developer category in everyone books.
Not knowing this stuff is fine, you do not know, good to learn but if you do not that is fine. Not knowing it, not grasping it and thus just dismissing because it frustrates you etc and then telling others they are basically stupid and it is all pointless for doing or adhering all these things is just daft in my book. Considering it is everyone who is not crap In the web Industry it makes it even worse.
Just really annoys me he does not give me any respect for what I know and do or ad-hear to and also everyone else.
I right out of the box always say my Java knowledge despite doing it through my degree is fine compared to what sam can pull together is nothing, I give him full respect for that, everything else he is quite bad at, again not a problem if you go learn it all like most of us do but You just dont dismiss it all and not bother and then moan and complain about people who do making it clear they are doing pointless exercises when that very much is not the case.
Web industry VS Sams thinking basically.
Again, totally fine, wrong but if you got an opinion your entitled to it but you at least show respect hey.
