@paulywill @taur10 @alan @stevendbrewer I want to be nice, because the people I met were. And dedicated. I worked to build Zowe applications for the CLI and an iframe app for the Zowe Desktop, which I think they've renamed to zlux. The idea that having the devs leave comments in the code would generate documentation IMHO was wrong headed and caused me endless headache. Weeks, months, for what should have taken days—with the code base changing and depricating for a conservative industry needed stable APIs and simple straightforward doc, like Zowe for Dummies or an O'Reilly. I believe adoption has suffered outside the niche community as a result. The devs know what they were doing, but the application programmers were left in the cold or to read the code. Nice kit, once I got it, which is why I did some presentations at the Open Mainframe Summit detailing what I learned, and shortcuts I made by disassembling the Typescript so I could code in pure nodejs. I built some large CLI systems that emulate our mainframe product through REST, (E)JES. That's it in a nutshell.
I now write #fiction. Still logic, in a different form.
