You may be correct. But developers aren't the only ones reading TechCrunch, bosses read it. Something like that is all it takes to create self doubt whether they're developing on the right platform.
I have seen plenty of companies spend big bucks because they were convinced to move away from CF. Lots of times the end result is worse than the CF solution they left behind. Sometimes their best developers leave as well and it takes them years to recover. rick On Mon, Nov 2, 2009 at 6:29 PM, Jason Durham <jdur...@cti-stl.com> wrote: > > Their comments didn't upset me.
