rebelutionary / 2.0

I've been biled - hahaha / 2003 Jun 26

Finally it's my turn - I feel so proud, I'd like to thank my mum, dad etc. I know I should feel angry, but instead there's a certain sense of satisfaction. You know you've made it when you've been attacked by the BileBlog :)

Our poor, gorgeous, deluded Hani has turn his latest bileous attack upon the small, defenseless OFBiz Entity Engine, which our bug tracking product JIRA uses to do it's persistence. (How's my imitation Bile-style looking?)

My favourite quote:

Abstraction has long since been cast aside for convenience. This is all good and well, since it makes life easier for developers, and new features and so on become very easy to add.

I have to say that as a real world software developer, often I like finding things that make life easier for my developers and make it faster to add features.

Would we choose the OFBiz EE again if we were starting from scratch? I'm not sure. Our next product, Confluence, is built using Hibernate, which is a really nifty persistence framework (led by an Aussie!). Is it worth the cost to move JIRA over to using Hibernate? I'm not sure - it depends on how we feel about it after finishing Confluence. As they say in the classics - if it ain't broke, why fix it?

Of course we could switch to using EJBs and then ship a new release once a year instead of once a month (and lose support for deployment in a servlet container), but where's the fun in that?

(PS You're buying the sushi this time mate)

Oh and Fred, 'shimself' is not actually a word, you inbred dyslexic imbecile.

1. Fred, it is good for you that you find your own post funny. From the extensive feedback in the comments you can see pretty much everyone thinks you are not.
2. Please stop using "pulled a Hani", "Hani" in general, "Chiara", "FUD" and circlejerk (which you anyway just picked up after being mentioned on the bileblog) ... it is such a bore.
3. Do you ever ever _read_ before you "write"?
4. Don't ever call yourself "FUD debunker" again
5. Ever saw the spellchecker button on freeroller? Yes, spellcheck, not spelcehk.
6. Have mercy - with every comment you leave, I get another pimple on my back. Believe me, I don't read your blog anymore but it is just really hard to escape your omnipotent trail of self-indulgent overconfident and useless comments.

Tha!
