Ok so here is the deal, I wanted to respond to a comment made under my last blog by CodeSatori but I went over the Character limit. So here I am creating it as a blog. I love debates, conversation and pretty much anything that stimulates my mind. So here I go, responding to that wonderful Dolphin member Guy by the name of CodeSatori
I respect your point of view 100%, now respect mine. I'm going to explain the reality of things. Examining a script and testing out something so complex AS a script will take much longer than 2 weeks. No great web developer has learned their craft in a 2 week time period. To think that is ludacris.Dolphin is way to complex to learn and experiment within a short time span.
Another thing I'm going to break down to you is that I didn't go in building around a script. I went in buidling around an idea. And when you are buidling off of an idea that you have mapped out and put into a blueprint, finding the right script WILL TAKE TIME!. This is where you and I differ. I'm not average and I'm not looking for average. As far as investment is concerned, oh boy you have no idea the investment that my pockets have seen. But see, thats neither here nor there because that part of the business I've learned already.
Thirdly any GOOD business takes time unless you are one of those developers who like to throw up Bull sh%t websites for a quick profit. In that case then I can understand why you can't see why it would take a year to build a successful website. Unfortunately, we aren't in that category and honestly I don't want to be. So your way of thinking to me, is a bit off. Because limited funding and nothing else to do points more to the less than a year perspective you have.
Yes, I get mad at Dolphin and as my website expands, I notice issues that come up. I rant and I rave about them, YEP SURE DO! thats what I'm suppose to do. I'm going to treat dolphin the same way that I treat my husband. When he makes me angry, I'm going to say what I feel at that moment. Is he going anywhere? (Nah, more than likely ,not)
Just because I'm using the script doesn't mean that I'm not going to get pissed at the developers. No relationship is perfect.And as long as I'm heard whenever I scream I'm cool.
I'm still irriated with Dolphin but when it all boils down to it, they have served me quit well up to this point.
Now you should be more confused.....marinate on that one, take a nap, wake up and try again.
While you speak of blueprints, what I've gathered so far here is that for a lot of people, tinkering with Dolphin is something of a lifestyle and a way to learn more about website development, and see more
