It would be nice to not be so emotionally attached...but if a company hires me, I expect that they want the most out of me.oraclenerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412013306950057961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-47912929480000333152009-04-03T10:58:00.000-04:002009-04-03T10:58:00.000-04:00@NiallThanks for the article.

I have heard that basic tenet before, the quote: "ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge"<BR/><BR/>How do you tell someone that they don't know? As my wife said the other day, "Never try to teach a goat to sing. It wastes your time, and it annoys the goat."oraclenerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412013306950057961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-30991486566591672742009-04-03T10:34:00.000-04:002009-04-03T10:34:00.000-04:00@lucianGreat to see you here!

I have those same thoughts.<BR/><BR/>I had a pretty good first role model, what I build, what we build, is for the company and myself. That's the angle I tend to come from. <BR/><BR/>I'll say it again and again though, I'm not always right and I don't think I pretend to be...but I love to ask questions and discuss (argue?) a point.oraclenerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412013306950057961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-37314834000846758562009-04-03T09:04:00.000-04:002009-04-03T09:04:00.000-04:00I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft.

Don't get me wrong, I still aim to deliver high quality work, just that I try very hard to keep my emotions out of it. If it's not in my job description, it's not my problem.Cd-MaNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05030326541176171725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-40616947319995768112009-04-03T00:48:00.000-04:002009-04-03T00:48:00.000-04:00I involuntarily use silence as a form of total dis...I involuntarily use silence as a form of total disdain or disapproval. If I can't speak about something it is because I am thinking "That's the dumbest thing I heard today". I am experiencing this surreal silence only few times a week, so I guess it's not that bad after all.Lucian Badeahttp://www.eklipsse.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-48877786962700995692009-04-02T22:43:00.000-04:002009-04-02T22:43:00.000-04:00@jblIt has merit of course.

"Better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt"<BR/><BR/>Needless to say I have done just that. I have however learned that I do have an area of "expertise" and that I can speak intelligently about it. If there's a conversation on SOAP/REST/whatever, I usually do just that, keep my mouth shut. 94% of the time I know when I don't know something.<BR/><BR/>What fun is life though if you can't have a good argument once in awhile? ;)oraclenerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412013306950057961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-57046532619996453442009-04-02T22:36:00.000-04:002009-04-02T22:36:00.000-04:00A buddy of mine used to say: "Be a man; keep your ...A buddy of mine used to say: "Be a man; keep your mouth shut."
