I completely agree with the basic post - PLEASE - websites - stop blocking password managers!!! For whatever the reason - bad code or a belief that I am more secure if you block my password manager (you know better than I, what is in my best interest?). Yes - I understand that there are a number of downstream issues, but how are they related? For instance, if I have a key logger on my system - then I am in DEEP - DEEP - DUU - DUU!! And there is nothing that "you" blocking my password manager is going to do that will make this better. Of course, if I don't have a key logger, and you block me - then I am not happy. ---- Really - tech community - I think the issue is how we collect, organize, distribute, mobilize and communicate to the password blockers that their web site is not acceptable to us! Kinda what the original post said about "experts" taken to the next logical response.

I've been in the software development world for a long time and now mostly work with web sites and the associated details - like importing a membership list into a database table. I think PHP and the associated web application frameworks are best for the smaller sites and Java for the larger ones - like Chase. This is because of the support structure that is available and resulting complexity. Frankly, I don't see much difference between C, C++, Java, PHP and Python (having coded in them all). The minor syntactical differences are the issue and mostly you just need to respond to the error indications (Duh – like typing a comma for a semi). I wonder if the question is more – how do you import/manipulate data in a web/database environment – I use TOAD. Does everything I might every want (along with some SQL) and I’m certainly not going to write a Python script if TOAD will handle it. Last – I signed up for the Microsoft partner program back when they released NT 4. I was impressed by the rapid development scenarios they presented for IIIS / ASP. Thing is, I could not modify the system beyond the basics and had to abandon that line of development. So – forgive me – but I’m not a fan of the rapid development craze. Give me a well structured language, superior library support and the best IDE and I’ll be most productive.
