KISS my microsoft

[Erik Wiggins]

Dear microsoft, could you please dumb down your samples. Why am I reading through 700 Terrabites of code to learn how to do something that can be done with 2 or three lines of code? Yes we want to, maybe someday, build perfessional applications that our mommies will be proud of but in you indevers to look good you are essentally releasing worthless samples which are opened skimmed through and then closed with nothing being learned due to the massive amount of coding you are putting into samples that are suppose to dimonstrate simple tasks. If it's suppose to be simple keep it simple.

Thank You, Every Programming hobyest who ever tried to learn from one of your samples.

Why not tell Microsoft directly?

Because you highly respect reverse engineering, code readability, and softsys performance issues. Uhm I wonder if some companies are searching for truly professional developers so that they can fire all the QC testers. In my area, QC Testers always get the lowest salaries in a company of software solutions. They appear as an intrusive group, tho. :)

Doesn't make sense to me either. Our Q/A and support groups are the lowest paid folks. No, they're not developers but they do pretty tough work. I guess it's what the market will bear, eh?
