God, that must hurt.
On the other hand, why not write a small sample application, demonstrate to your "head programmer" how it can be a single-instance application with the help of a named kernel object!

Do you think he's a guy that can take from words ? or examples ? He is the most dogmatic and half-educated (i dont know if this term exists in english.In my country exists and its worse than uneducated) piece of crap i've ever met.
For example , once i told him that i prefer to use enterprise library from microsoft than to write my own libs because its rather profound that i trust more microsoft's code than mine. The answer was : "I don't find the reason not to write our libs. Even microsoft's code is written by people...so why to trust it more than ours ?"
Incredible ???
Do you get it now ?

Sounds like this guy loves to reinvent the wheel instead of using the F1 racing wheels that have been developed over years and matured into stable, proven code.
Have you tried quantifying the development time in terms of labour cost to the company? and compare that to using the off the shelf tools? maybe its time to drop marketing lingo on him with "time to market" etc etc.
PS: Does your forehead have a calis on it from banging your head against hte wall?

I admit the guy sounds like a tool, but comparing Microsoft libraries to F1 racing wheels and calling it mature and stable is a bit over the top. Submersible school bus with non functional wings, chrome plates, and 25 hood ornaments (one with a frickin lazer beam) would be a better comparison.

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.

Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

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 :

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.
