so what makes you tick ... tick ... tick ...
I am having a bit of a debate about what motivates people in the IT industry. I think we are a bit of a different breed, and all the research that you can find on the net is generally aimed at generic business set-ups. If you would be so kind please could you order these motivators in order of most motivating to least motivating from your perspective. If there is something that seriously motivates you that I have left out, please add it in.
 
training
socials
salary increase
employee of the year award
status
job security
public recognition
fear
perfectionism
results
cash bonus
autonomy
feeling listened to and heard
power
praise and acknowledgment
competition
and so the VS2005 "fun" begins ...

this does NOT bode well!

i installed VS2005 beta 2 and i must say everything went soooooooooooooooo smoothly, but alas this is where the real "fun" started!
i tried to create a new project from the New Project window and presto, without me doing anything at all, VS2005 balks and dies.

i mean WTF!?!? this is the default path that MS chose to use, how can it be too long for my system?

why oh why can they just not get the simple things right?
is it because they keep trying to jam as much as possible into the product without focussing on the simple things!?!?

if things continue this way i shall be sure to give VS2005 the big finger and stay with notepad and the command line!

so how has everybody else found the new “mecca” of an IDE? i just wish that the IDE guys could get it right, cause this really spoils the great language that C# is and the great platform that .NET in general is.
