small Dreamweaver discrimination:

I've had a client that, when he finally looked at the code a previous
developer had delivered to him, asked me "why do all of the javascripts in
my code have MM_ in them?"  I replied: "those are Dreamweaver functions".
"Dreamweaver?  The WYSIWYG editor?!?!"  He wasn't happy.

Also, when I am looking to hire developers/programmers, I look at their
code.  I want a developer that is able to write javascript from scratch.  I
freely admit that I would not hire someone that used Dreamweaver's (or any
other WYSIWYG's) code for a project instead of writing their own.

I also cannot stand it when people's resumes say they know javascript and I
see MM_ in their examples.  Kills me every time.

I don't care if it's compact, versatile, etc.... learn to write it yourself
if this is your profession.

Maybe this is me being cranky because it's so damn hot today in the city.
Oh well.
