Having worked in environments where they bought a 'SharePoint' like application, I can relate to much of what was being said in the conversation. Organizations like that don't want to pay to build, they want to buy and piece everything together. However, in the long run - they end up paying for it because it requires so many modifications to do just what they needed. Wouldn't it be much smarter to build just what you need? I recently worked within a Java application where there were certain pieces I couldn't change at all - they were abstracted in the core of the application, making it a bear to really tweak things as deemed necessary. Thanks for posting the interview.... Excellent interview.
