Weeeeell... okay, so a cursory glance at today's news headlines would suggest that to be a rather bold claim, however a few days ago I noticed that
The Daily WTF was back to its old self. I'm not the most avid reader, although I do stop by fairly regularly, so I'm not sure when it happened. On the other hand, one of my colleagues who reads it pretty much every day wasn't sure either so I don't feel too bad about it. Now obviously a website called "The Daily WTF" is more than slightly rude, however when it was renamed "Worse Than Failure" I couldn't help feeling slightly sad that it appeared to have been infected by a little of the spirit of corporate blandness, which seems inescapable so much of the time... But no longer, hurrah!
About Bart Read
Bart has done many things since he started work at Red Gate Software Ltd in August 2004, but nowadays he's (mainly) the product manager for the .NET Developer Tools. He still feels like this is a bit like admitting you were cheering for the Empire whilst watching Star Wars, but for now he's along for the ride. In a previous incarnation he was a project manager leading the .NET Reflector Pro, ANTS Memory Profiler 5, ANTS Performance Profiler 4 & 5, and SQL Prompt 3.0 - 3.6 projects. He still occasionally writes some code and, in the past, has touched the code for most of the Red Gate SQL developer tools... some of them still haven't recovered from the shock. He was born and grew up in Dorset, was educated in Nottingham and London, and likes music and real ale. His photo is extremely misleading.
