A friend of mine brought your blog to my attention a few weeks ago. After reading a number of your posts I have now given your blog a permanent home on my RSS reader. Unfortunately, there’s no shortage of a-holes. Don’t waste time fretting about stupid comments. I’m paying attention and am interested in what you have to say. I’m sure other are as well. Keep up the good work. Sorry your not getting paid

Long-time reader, first time poster.

I enjoy all of your posts, regardless of whether they contain code. Many of the more insightful posts are the ones without code.

Keep up the good work – your posts are worth waiting for, no rush.

I can’t believe you didn’t back this post up with code…

Seriously, just discovered this site, very excited about Agatha, love all your posts – with and without code, keep it up mate.

Interestingly, I read that post and never event expected any code. Part of the reason was I know exactly how you feel about MVVM, having fought with it myself for longer than I wanted to. The fact that you could explain at a hight level how you approached the problem was more than enough, and if I ever find myself staring at some Silverlight again, I’m going to remember the approach you advocated. Chances are I could put together some more or less working code faster than I could find the downloadable source, download it, open it in studio, run the tests to figure out what it’s doing, etc, etc, etc.

Kudus for the good work! Your blog & RRSL project are very good.
I think “JustTalks” stance is one that I encounter every day as a developer; it’s the mindset that “Microsoft’s way is the only way”.

Wasn’t that comment you mention just comment spam? Get those comments sometimes as well.

Nevertheless: you have a point. It sometimes gets very frustrating when spending 9 unpaid hours in a week on blog posts or an OSS project and then hear development is going slow.

FWIW, I read that post and totally agreed, based on my coding experiences over the past 2 years.

Sorry, I was busy. I have my personal time too, but here I am. What was the problem?

One of the reasons I read your blog is because you judge technology from experience and an open mind. Keep up the good work.

Anonymous commenters, the dark side of the internet. I think on internet fora they would say “Don’t feed the trolls”. Just keep writing, loving your blog.

Agree with the above; just wanted to add: Often the non-code posts are the ones giving me the most – after all, it’s usually the thinking (behind the code) that does the trick in our profession, and I appreciate that people devote their time to share their thoughts and experiences.

This definitely struck a nerve and I can appreciate your reaction. This guy was just making noise. he wasn’t looking for a conversation he just wanted your code. It’s easy to be critical (and boisterous) on the web behind an anonymous handle.

You have a passion for development and an audience that enjoys it. I wouldn’t give this guy/comment any more thought.

He’s just frustrated that he pays very good money for this site and you won’t deliver the code…..oh wait.

I’m with Jan, you’ll get to the posts when you get to them. I appreciate the effort.
