Poor interview

If Joao is indeed the visionary the interviewer claims, I think the interviewer did a very poor job with his questions. Joao clearly knows his stuff, but the interviewer wasted his chance by asking irrelevant questions about [oversimplification] windows this, linux that... [/oversimplification]

Besides, this:

13. How do you see the technological future?

JP: I see a networked, object oriented, XML database driven and XSL transformed world.


Hardly is the answer of a visionary, this same reply 5 years ago and I would have gasped in awe, now it's not even sophisticated.

I'm sorry I'm being a bit of a prick, just that the web seems to be full of visionaries as of late.
