The Lair of the Pythia

I’ve steered clear of the debate over CodeGear announcing a new CEO because I don’t see any value in speculation and conspiracy theories. However, Jim Douglas has now started blogging and his first post contains some encouraging comments. I particularly like the fact that he mentions the “first experience”. Buying and installing CodeGear products can be rather depressing, and leave you wondering if the product itself is as bad as the buy/install/register process. This can be unfair, because the guys who write Delphi products are not necessarily the same guys who run the shop. Furthermore, if the shop and registration process are still managed by Borland rather than by CodeGear staff (or by third parties contracted to Borland) then it may need someone at Jim’s level in the company to get things put right. Here’s hoping Jim’s focus on this area bears fruit.
