Ok, not .NET but, design patterns, they are just in .NET....

I have some simple stored procedures that were written a long time ago and I have been forced (yes forced) to write a new application that centralizes the interface for two companies yet uses different stored procedures using an overkill of design patterns (DAO, DTO, blah, blah, blah).

It's complete overkill and something that I could have written in a day if I didn't have to abstract 87 (exaggeration) times. Now, I understand the need for abstraction and design patterns but for something as simple as I'm doing (it's basically a view with a grid that updates, deletes, and adds) there are a total of 32 class files and 8 referenced projects...

What should have taken me a day or two has turned into a month in Dante's inferno.

eh, again, not necessarily .NET's fault... more like design patterns fault (same thing would have happened in Java).

.net is the shit

what exactly does this design pattern stuff have to do with .net?

i agree though hartmann, from all the developers i've worked with, it's amazing to me how many "professional thinkers" there are out there. they overdesign like a mofo. they spend so much time doing design documents and other documentation that they never get anything done and the products are way more complicated than they need to be. around here if there's something we need, we discuss it for a few hours if need be, then do it. document later i always say.

I was just frustrated and blamed it on .NET... Some of the stuff we were doing in .NET was pretty cool, such as data abstraction to the point where we didn't care what kind of data came in we could still process it.

Anyway, I quit and will now be working overseas off and on.

Yep. I quit. I am moving to Houston to work for Meridium, Inc. It is a 75%+ travel position. Not a lot of programming, more analysis and business rule design. Definitely better than anything I have been doing now. I leave Dallas tomorrow and fly to Virginia on Sunday.
