<DIV>Hmm I will try to not take that personally!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Because I have done work on an application that indeed is currently Delphi
5 and has possibly nearly 300 forms. Actually it is pretty awesome as it
is an elegant MVC design, with business units, forms, and datamodules so
everything is separated. Written to allow multi-tier operation as
well. And they are converting to XE6 over the current
months. I think I can defend it as I didn’t write it.</DIV>

<DIV class=gmail_extra>There can be your figjam type and the type which just
aren't aware. The developers that have been stuck at one company still using
delphi 5 and just don't know that things have changed around them. The type that
thinks because the application has 300 forms, it must be awesome :-)</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>I would say that one big difference between those who THINK they
are good and those who actually ARE good, is that someone who only THINKS they
are good will rarely - if ever - admit to having made a mistake. They
are, after all, just too good.<BR><BR>Someone who IS good more often knows
that they only became good through having made mistakes and learned from them
(and be able to explain their mistake(s) and what they learned from each
one).</DIV>
