Hi Shamil I don't find this OT, on the contrary very relevant. It's right that software doesn't get worn out - thus, to state that some software has turned bad just because something new is available, is wrong. What matters is if it runs stable and at acceptable speed and if it interfaces easily if that is needed (which, by the way, in my experience is the typical reason for obsoleting an application). As to "off-shore development" - we just call it outsourcing here - it is perfectly acceptable for jobs where human interaction is not that important. My son in law gets zope programming done in India and I'm convinced we will experience much more of such cross boarder development - as your helper add-ins project demonstrates. Of course, if the development involves a lot of discussion with clients for custom applications, the method will not be effective - these cases demand physical presence. /gustav >>> shamil at users.mns.ru 04/29 2:01 pm >>> Hi All, I'm a kind of changing my profession (:)) and I'm asking for your opinion of this my first try to write a humoristic and slightly (hopefully slightly only) sarcastic text - please go here if you have time: http://smsconsulting.spb.ru/shamil_s/idlpetit.htm and have a look and send me, please, your feedback privately Any feedback is very welcome! Honestly, I'm looking for setting long-term partnerships with somebody. The recent my programming works are here: http://www.code-vb.com/download.htm (Help Generator set of Add-ins). No, I'm not trying to promote this stuff for you to purchase it - I'm just referring it to show what was done here recently, off-shore, without any phone talks, any business trips - just using e-mail ping-pong and in urgent cases MS Messenger chatting to send short specs and to get back developed software. Yes, I know, off-shore development isn't in favor there. Should I leave my homeland and go there to maybe have better life and to compete for the jobs with you there at your home? Yes, the chances to land a better job look much higher in this case(statistics) but I think I can do some very good stuff here, which I will not be able to do there because it will cost more because of the higher life costs and the higher taxes rates there. Therefore, IMO, my off-shore development proposal is a fair business proposal because I'm not going "sitting here" to compete with you there using "dirt-cheap" dumping rates but I'm going to compete by proposing slightly lower rates, which will open opportunities, which in other cases will not be opened at all because they will be financially meaningless... So, I propose to get into longterm cooperation to assist you in your business and for you to assist me in my off-shore development freelance business... Thank you, Shamil P.S. Crossposted to Dba-OT. Will it reach it or not, I'm unsure about that, if it will reach, please, don't reply on this message there in DBA-OT, please, send me your feedback privately because I'm not reading DBA-OT these days.... -- Web: http://smsconsulting.spb.ru/shamil_s
