Surprising...

Over the last several days I've learned that at least one person actually reads this blog (and also hounds me if I don't post on it).

Oh, and I also learned (again) that the other developers I work with really don't care about becoming better at what they do. They make fun of me for trying to come up with intelligent, orthogonal designs, and yet are perfectly content to use case statements where an intelligent class hierarchy would make much more sense.

Me: "Dude, use an abstract class, it'll be cleaner and more scalable"
Them: "LOL whatever Mr. Object Orientated Weirdo! A huge, ugly if/else if/else block will be way faster to write!"
Me: "I'm going to kill you..."
Them: "LOL go write an 'interface' or something..."
Me: *Sigh*

You know, shit like that.
