Well I wasn't saying it wasn't feasible - just contrary to all my experience. Also, there is probably the issue that we define what classes as enterprise differently.
I'm not sure what you mean when you talk about a paradigm shift though - Are you talking about simply building things quickly? or another shift that is making this possible?
I know, was kind of funny that you used that to make the point. I understand it. It's usually true.
The paradigm shift is one where development is moving away from desktop based environments like Eclipse and Visual Studio to web based development environments that automate the majority of tasks from the database layer to the front end. To build an enterprise system anymore, developers need nothing but a browser.
And yes, when you said "solid enterprise application" I was wondering what you meant by both solid and enterprise. So no, I couldn't build SAP in a month, but I or really any individual now could build a system that impacts everyone in the organization and scales to support them automatically.
It's really intersting how things are changing faster over time with the exponential impacts of multiple technologies coming together into one point of entry. I'm not sure if any of this is making sense. I don't want to get too work related here, I come here to distract myself so my subconscious can do its job and I entertain myself.
I do get pretty crazy about these topics. Sometimes too crazy.
