But to be fair those typical IT shops do provide more employment opportunities than those software shops. Except IT shops are mostly run by ambitious business people backed by incompetent IT people trying to make some quick money. | |
| Mar 22, 2010 at 0:49 | comment | added | Jeff | I love your explanation about the difference between a software shop and the typical IT shop and I totally agree with it. To be honest I’ve worked more at the typical IT shops than software shops and no wonder why my programming skill hasn’t improved too much over the past 2 years. Though I keep on reading new techniques/practices/ patterns (I am currently learning CQRS and find it to be amazing how simplified things are. At the beginning it might seem to be complex and not worthwhile.) but I find I have no where to actually apply those I’ve learn except my personal projects. | |
