The error was on your part because your the one that misunderstood. Jeeves: "The sky is green".
Harr: "No, the sky is blue."
Discostu: "You're an idiot, Harr. When Jeeves says green he means blue, so you're dead wrong."
Yeah, sure, whatever.
And it's a personal "insult" to suggest that there are better techs than MS ones.
I think we have about killed this horse, n'est pas?
He didn't say the sky was green. He said the development process for his ASP front end app was 8 weeks. Development process includes a lot more than coding, just because you read it as just the coding isn't his fault or my fault. You say you've been in the business a long time, so you should know that the development process isn't just the coding, you should know that the coding process isn't just the front end, you should know that a lot of this stuff goes on in parallel and estimating how long one chunk took is just smoke and mirrors. It's not my fault you forgot everything you knew when you read the post.
