Sahil Malik talks about the biggest lies in the tech industry
My favorite:
.NET is better than Java/Java is better than .NET/We should switch to <XX> to make our development better.
Okay, I don't care who you are - you don't know enough to make that call. I've been a hardcore MS Developer for about 10 years now (not counting paid college and school work), I have worked with MS technologies from Borland Turbo C, to .NET, and whenever I read a book I discover something new about MS Technology. There is SO MUCH even in MS Technology that I don't kniow, how the heck can I make that call of .NET being bettert han Java? And I spend probably 15 hours a day in front of a PC - so I find it hard to believe that there is anyone who can make that claim definitively. However, I do "like" .NET better than Java :), Java and it's hacky nature is just icky - but hey whatever turns your knob.
