Well, you are looking at a guy who wrote two books on Microsoft technologies that were retired rather sooner than anyone'd have assumed given the initial hype

Yeah, that's gotta hurt.

A few years ago, some of the VC++ guys jokingly asked me to write a book on .NET so that'd get killed off and everyone'd get back to native coding
|

You should try and may be I will go back to active coding when .Net dissapears
cheers,

Hi All,
That's day one done! Still typing on a phone as I took a trip to the supermarket. Still not home! Well the job doesn't seem too bad at the moment.

Thanks Everyone for your kind words and wishes today!
I love my new office. I will face a few scary challenges but my colleagues appear to be smart, kind and understanding. And my former employer (Ericsson) is rumoured to present massive layoffs Tuesday...

The rumour was all over the Swedish press, so I cannot take credit it. And now in the morning it is still unclear if the announcement is today....

Does anyone here have any experience of living and working in Finland? I'm in the running for a contract based out of Helsinki up there, and I'm curious as to what it might be like. I live in Zurich right now, so not doing too bad quality of life wise. Just wondering if Finland might be worth a shot for a year or two. I love cold weather, by the way.

I believe the best one to answer that would be @mika-wendelius.
My question for you is: Do you like introvert people, sauna and vodka?
Vodka being the commonly used medicine against being introvert.
Sauna is done in the nude, as it should be. Vodka quite often aswell.
Some more stereotypes[^]

BTW, don't get me wrong, I find that the Finns are generally awesome people, despite their common claim that all Swedes are homosexuals.
Which makes the memory of seven naked finnish guys from Helsinkis technical University, standing or rather half dancing on a jetty outside the sauna arms around each others shoulders singing a song on that theme, rather fun.
