I just read you manifesto. Your definition of 'platform' is interesting in that it could mean an API, a framework, an operating system or an access system (xml-rpc, soap).It is really too bad that in computer science school they don't talk about apis. Sure there are the standard things and now people are teaching java, but the power and limitations are just passed by. The profs assume they will get it immediately out of school whether it is .net or symbian os or some limited embedded system.I'm sure you've read the mythical man month. If you haven't you should not work so much.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-1390">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I’ve felt that beyond Windows vs. Mac os people just don’t realize that every electronic gadget they touch and interact with is running on an operative system of some sort.
