Thank you for the feedback. I apologize that my unfamiliarity with my
newsreader's settings led you to believe that my recommendations were
a critique of what you wrote. My intention was to reply to the
original poster.
Can I assume you approve of my other suggestions?
To expand on the last point, integration with third party tools is an
excellent education in real-world software development. How do I
integrate with it? What is their software license? Great, now we
need someone to monitor their bug list, Oh no - there's a bug in that
library, how do we update the software that people are using? Crap,
they have an extensive software evaluation process, we can't just ****p
a new binary?..., etc.
