Many programmers/analysts/software engineers have rather large egos. I try very hard not to fall into that category. Many also fall directly under the category of "geek", and I don't fit that category either.
im sure he's referring to Mr. Pwnzer. funny how he pwned me by refuting something i didn't even say. i said it would take less than 1 hour to setup and test... i don't see me mentioning coding anywhere in my posts, and it was kinda funny to sit back and see how he went on and on about it

i have no doubts that he has a programming position, but he just needs to take a step back and not to be so self consumed. i still stand by my 'less than one hour'.
assuming that webpage management and support is outsourced to a decent company, it shouldn't take the tech/specialist that long to install/implentment a program/code that they've used. to be in charge of managing a webpage with sensitive information, im assuming they are experienced and are professionals at what they do, a simple task like this should be a snap and probably repetitive. something like this shouldn't have to be coded from scratch, its not a groundbreaking code that will make you the next Bill Gates. if the person in charge of making the changes doesn't know how to do it, then im 99% sure that a person that knows how to is just a phone call and email away, if this isn't the case then better support should be sought elsewhere... but what do the hell do i know

that's what you get when ordering from online companies. they're rather poorly run b/c they don't have to be help accountable to clients. it's easier to give someone the run around on the phone than in person.

so true

too many online companies want to save money and time by not having these things tied in. they should have people call for availability but instead they'd rather get the order first and have you call to cancel it. it's easier for them to get you to place the order that way.

Whatever flows your boat brother. One hour sure does a lot. I just hope that you don't get a stomache ache or something and waste precious 10 minute out of that magical hour in the bathroom and can't meet the "EXPECTED" deadline.

It's not much of a news to me. I never denied that we were NOT an e-commerce store but just to remind people that there is a larger operation within our business than just e-commerce and it does affect our department. How would you know anything about maintaining our site? I think you should re-consider your accusation as you do not know anything about the way our website was built, the functionalities, and how its maintained. I understand your point and if there was a way we can make things more convenient for our clients, we would. Just a thought.

Exactly how does a vendor benefit from you having to order it first then cancel it? It wastes time for both parties, i dont see the logic in that.

I've ordered several parts from Performance Nissan of Duarte and have had nothing but excellent, punctual, and very professional service from mynismo.com.

Cert's mean jack. Experience is the key. I have fired people that have come into the job with all these certs from school and couldn't do it at all.

You're totally right. Anyone going to college should drop out right now because they're working toward something that means "jack" to SOLO-350Z.

PS: Going even further off topic.

certs alone are resume dressing, there are plenty of people that have certs and don't know jack. its nice when they have the certs and actually know how to apply it, otherwise i'd rather take the guy with no degrees and no certs with experience

How would you have a clue as to the level of technical difficulty involved in having an accurate inventory accounting on your site?

I wouldn't know anything about your website? Let’s see, here is a very brief break down of some of your points:

1.) The way it was built: As you said in a huge hurry. Also, it was not custom built just for mynismo.com. In looking at the format, I can see that it is basically plug-n-play shell that would be quickly and easily adapted for your needs similar in function to the site we are currently on.

2.) The functionalities: I really don't care about the functionalities. You could have a great site, but if your inventory isn't correct, well then the site isn't so great after all, is it?

3.) How it is maintained: Again, I don't care about overall maintenance. The fact I find amusing is how your inventory is maintained......manually. Please.

4.) If you could make things more convenient for your client, you would: Let's see........BS. You could make the site much more convenient by having a live link to your on-hand inventory or an inventory refresh every few minutes. Which is NOT HARD and NOT COSTLY.
BTW, have you contacted anyone about the difficulty and cost of doing so? Of course not.

And please do explain to me all the technical details so that I can have a better understanding of your overall web design.

Once you get older and higher up in the company you will understand that certs do not mean everything. Means you took the class, passed the test but you have no clue how to actually do it well in the real world in real world situations. Reason why #1 I will no longer bring someone on board that has only certs. Most employers do not look at certs they mainly look at experience over that.

I think civic4982 was a little off base but very close to seeing what you are up to:
"so true
too many online companies want to save money and time by not having these things tied in. they should have people call for availability but instead they'd rather get the order first and have you call to cancel it. it's easier for them to get you to place the order that way."

They definitely want to get the order 1st, which is why they could give 2 sh#ts less about accurate inventory. They want the customer to see those wonderful words "in stock" so they will place they order.
But, they obviously don't want the order cancelled. They are in hopes the customer will keep their order thru mynismo even if they may need to wait on the item.
