I used to eagerly read the tags to see snappy answers to posts like "duh", "no", "yes", "hell yes" and so on.
It was like having a low resolution voting system. If very few people disagreed with the article then "no" wouldn't show up.
I now see no reason at all to look at the tags. I don't know why people even bother adding them. The editor posting the article could easily add simple tags like "politics".

Don't confuse DNS with the Web.
Both DNS and Usenet have a hierarchal organization. My point was that the granularity of namespaces provided by DNS is less than the granularity provided by trademarks.
Also, Usenet is neither behind nor in front of the Web. They are different applications, and both are still quite useful.

They have NINE managers and SIX developers. They probably sit in meetings all day just like the rest of Microsoft. Actually, I found the whole page hilarious, due to its forced-sounding attempt at being cool. Sounds like it was written by the same people that did the Zune marketing. Notice the contradiction between the two sentences of being right in the center of Microsoft while being a "startup".

In Microspeak they are individual contributors and not managment, they don't have reports.
Having a strong team of program managers is a good thing for a developer. You get to spend more time focusing on the techncial implementation.

You're obviously not familiar with Microsoft position nomenclature. Of the names listed, there are three real managers -- the GPM, the PUM, and the Engineering Manager. You're confusing "Program Manager" and "Product Manager" as actual managers.

In Microsoft parlance, a "Program Manager" isn't a person who works in the "management" sense of the business or people. They have other people for that.

If you want, watch the video. I have to admit the concept is kinda cool. The way you can edit block code and share it... It seems to me that MS is trying to leverage a community which openly shares code modifications. The problem is that it is all based on a closed-source platform, and I'm sure the best hackers would rather work on an open platform, instead of one which could change or become obsolete without notice.

Managers on my teams are also developers. So if people have a managing title, they are no longer able to create, think, develop, or code?
