great idea in principal but in case you hadn't noticed not many jobs around right now so wait 6 months, then quit!

There is no way you are going to change this guy. The only reasonable option is to get out of there as soon as you can. I'm glad to hear that you are starting your own company, hopfully you will be able to make that your full time job soon.

sounds like a great company to work with that encourages innovation and use of bleeding edge tech. It's not called Microsoft is it?

If my boss would have talked to me that way I'd show him exactly how much that title means to me...
Close your laptop.
Take your things.
Leave (the company).
good luck.

I'm quite embarrased. Is it so humiliating ? I tried to close my eyes to truth but it seems a third person point of view shows the harsh reality.
Thanx guys.

Each person's reaction is different for each situation.
It's up to you to define what you want:
- blindly chew whatever is thrown on your plate.
- Choose the ingredients and the preparation method yourself.
You would be surprised how many people will choose option #1 and are perfectly happy. There is NOTHING wrong with option 1. I just prefer option 2. It is more difficult, but I somehow have more satisfaction out of it.
PS: I'm not talking about starting for yourself. I'm talking about the way your job should be for you. I prefer a job where creativity and innovation are encouraged  .

He doesnt read .net documentation or books. He can found it out by himself. Seriously talking now, once called me to his office to ask me what was that :
Dictionary<string,string>
giving me at last the advice to stay away from technological verbalisms.

OMFG
This really makes me think of my teacher informatics who keeps insisting on using Access databases for EVERYTHING, and working with windows 2000 cause it's more stable >_>
Respect for your position dude. I'm just happy that I don't have such an employer, and will always check their nubness level before accepting any job. Some of the ppl are just sad >_>

During the interview sessions they demonstrated the company and theirselves as truly openminded with the need to hire an experienced developer in order to accomplish a technological breakthru and update to their major product and to deliver knowledge and guiding directives to the rest of the development team. I bite that crap then and I left from my prior company which was awesome.
Actually I'm the one responsible for all the development team but he doesnt let me make any decision in technical level and in case I make a decision by myself without asking him, we finally arrive at the point of how wrong was that decision and how much did i mislead the team and how much time did i spent in the wrong direction . "I want results. Keep your theoretical background for your academic carreer". Its the main moto.

Do you work for my previous CTO?
His favorite mantra was "Keep it simple stupid" and he didn't understand any of the technical considerations required to keep a complicated, feature rich application simple. And dropping (complicated) phrases like "Data access layer", "Unit test" and "Undo / Redo Stack" would generally get a hostile response of "Wtf are you talking about? It sounds complicated."
Looking back, i should have realised it was actually his lack of education and i wasn't talking sh*t.

While he's at it why doesn't he restrict you to using only one hand on a computer without a keyboard or monitor?

Holy crap! Time to update the ol' resume!

Holy crap. How brown is your boss's nose? Otherwise I simply don't understand how such a person could get into a position like that.

I was working with some old code (well, as usual) and came across this situation where the debugger reported an unhandled exception. I handled it, and well...
try
{
}
catch(CPrException *pExc)
{
OutputDebugString(pExc->GetErrorDescription());
delete pExc;
}
And error description printed in the external debugger was:
Something is really wrong!
Something is wrong? Really wrong? Well, thanks for letting me know. Someone out there was having a really wicked sense of humor while writing it. I would personally want to take him out and beat him to death with an old-skool mechanical keyboard.
