Hi Wolfgang,

Well, speaking for myself, yes Vulcan was a very important thing in my life and for many years I was giving to it my all to it to make it a success as much as possible. But, at the same time, vulcan reminds to me that I had to daily deal with a specific person who was often making it a nightmare experience for me, too, so to be honest, I'd have no problem at all now if vulcan was completely erased from the history books and that word was never to be heard again! Well, once we're done with our own runtime at least

Hi Chris,

I can understand your personal feelings, and I know you are not alone with these.

But even if the experience on the human level was bad with one person, you had good experiences with other people on the team, to not forget all the technical experience.

Hi Wolfgang,

Yes, absolutely true, it has been a great pleasure working together with all the actual developers, users and creators of vulcan (and VO). But all that I have it again now in X#, without the negatives of the past, so...

Hi Chris,

Hi Wolfgang,

Yes of course, and actually if it wasn't for CULE, then I wouldn't be in vulcan and in X# later. As I said, vulcan was a very big thing for me, devoted much of my life to it. But while I still remember CULE with joy and I have respect for it, I have absolutely no issues seeing vulcan disappearing...

Hi Chris,

You speak from your heart. That speaks volume what kind your former boss was really is.

As "boss" also, I keep myself near to my staff and managed them with my heart; with the business with my mind. I learned this in my Management 101 many decades ago.

Some of my former staff who are already a leading programmers in Singapore and New Zealand, they keep thanking me for introducing them to C# and MVC. That knowledge made them super in their own current line of work.

Keeping programmers/software dev is so hard for me. But I do retain most.

It is about the mission and vision; and attainment of goals.

Regards,

Rene
