“Hey, you got a comparison chart between you and X?”

There’s a short answer and a long one.

The short one is No.

The long one involves a couple of blog posts I’d written in the past, one from 2008 and one from 2007. I can’t really expand on them particularly since I said it all then and my/our viewpoint hasn’t changed.

In essence, the only meaningful comparison between two paths/opportunities/products is the one you make or write, because a comparison is essentially subjective and not objective (what’s important to you may not be important to me, etc). But it’s amazing that people still ask for them (as did someone today; hence this post). Agreed they’re great for something to present to your boss without having to do any work, but it’ll be your reputation on the line, not ours, if the biased/generic/all-glitz-but-no-substance comparison turns out to be not specific enough to your environment and requirements.
