Works on my machine

Working as a developer you have either heard the term works on my machine or have been the one to say it. Some developers get really irritated with the quotes others like me find it funny when someone comes up and says it. I think they just got the "works on my machine" certification.

There have been times I would like to hide behind the Works on My Machine quote when you have an issue that is like finding a needle in a hay stack. Personally I like the quote it works on my machine try closing and reopening the application.

My First Post

Hi my name is Faye Spath I am a .net developer with over 13 years of experience in development. I haven’t always worked in the latest and greatest technologies. I started out my career as a Java developer in college with an internship with a mortgage company. After graduating from college I was excited about my career and took a job as a Cobol programmer. Yes you read that right a Cobol programmer. My boss said you will be working on the user interface and I was all excited thinking yes I am going to work with the UI but to my surprise I realized all it was were black screens with green text. Not exciting at all for a young person right out of college wanting to work in a object oriented programming language. After spending about 2 years doing Cobol programming I moved into another position at the same company doing java programming. I found my niche but then layoffs came and I was back looking for another job I found a job as vb.net programmer and this is where my life as a .net programmer began. I spent 7 years developing in .net from vb.net to C# from asp.net application to WPF applications which has now brought me to my current .net position working on a banking application that is written in C#. Who knows what the future will bring but I know it will be in a Microsoft technology for me.
