That's the problem, I'm not even sure it's sarcasm Sigh | :sigh:
Plenty of people in our industry who are always bitching on those new technologies and claim things were better and easier in the old days.
For example, I knew someone who started a new VB6 project... In 2014 WTF | :WTF:
This was a professional developer (although I guess "professional" really wasn't applicable), hired by a professional company, for a commercial, well-paying client.

I just heard from a friend who has been hired by a company to solve problems with their new application.
It was built two years ago, but using 15 year old technology because that's what the architect knew.
Long story short, he can't wait to be out of there because all he does is fight said architect because the architect doesn't want to budge an inch.

An ex-coworker of mine once said "oh, that's one of those places where you actually have to learn and stay current" when I told him about a new job Unsure | :~

I have examples to spare, so tell me, was this sarcasm? Wink | ;)
