When I grow up, I want to be able to rant as eloquently as Bill Thompson does about Web 2.0 which he says "marks the dictatorship of the presentation layer, a triumph of appearance over architecture that any good computer scientist should immediately dismiss as unsustainable.". He also calls it "Ajaxified snakeoil" and "promised metaverse, the land of prims and money."
Honestly, for a while now I have I secretly wished that in my 90s I become the wizened Scribe in the Miller Lite "Men at the Square Table" commercials.
In that spirit, I table the following Man Law sponsored by Bill:
"Ajax is completely off limits in enterprise technology. If one was to Ajax an application, they might as well put a little umbrella in it and call it a "Web 2.0 colada".
Man Law: "Don't Ajax an Enterprise App"
Do I hear a second for the vote?
