Thanks for the feedback. Yes, you are probably right, to focus on the RAD part. Feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn or GitHub and we can continue the conversation. Would love to chat

You just have to get rid of the words "visual basic". It has a terrible reputation by the thousands of people who have never used it but like to parrot things they have read online.

Ok, testing with a different headline now to see the response:

I tried it but the hacker news crowd seems to respond more to Visual Basic 6 (see the link I attached). I guess outside of Hacker News people think more of RAD. Thanks for your input :)

I'm sure the hacker news crowd leans more to web apps and mac/*nix. The first headline never mentions "windows".

Ok, thanks, that makes sense as I am a Mac and Linux user myself. I only use Windows as Mac and Linux is virtually non existent in the desktop corporate world in Europe
