And the back-end wasn't in ASP, therefore was clearly not part of his, " I had an application that took me eight weeks to code and test in ASP."
This is amazing.
His clear statement, "code in test in ASP" you insist on claiming means, "full dev life cycle, including the non-ASP stuff".
He said 8 weeks for the ASP stuff alone. Then he explained what ASP stuff he meant.
His statement was clear, and you're trying to backpeddle so fast you're going to trip. 8 weeks to code and test in ASP. He then made clear what was coded and tested in ASP.
Then he admitted he meant only 1 week coding and testing in ASP.
Is this saying a lot about trying to have a conversation with you? If you're willing to twist the obvious?
