Comment on: Who says girls can't code?

I actually don't think any of it is. That shit has to work. If it was it was debugged by a man.

Is that what it was? Knew it was something like that.

Idiocracy. They'll be watering plants with Gatorade before the end of the next decade.

Scary isn't it? These people vote. That's what scares me the most.

That is a pretty good insult.

Comment on: Outsourcers blamed for cocking up programmes at one in three big firms

Look I've been in IT since 1980. My feelings are based on my observations. Absolutely always correct...probably not. Mostly correct, most of the time, absolutely.

This doesn't surprise me one bit. Most people working in IT are absolutely useless. As in most professions 80% of the work is done by 20% of the people. The other 80% of the workers just make more work for the 20% by cocking shit up.

Yep, every time.

Comment on: The reason why Agile development fails.

I'm old school IT, 35 years. I had to look up Agile. Regardless of what process you follow I would add the following that I've discovered over the years. I also think this applies to any industry or profession. 80% of the work product is produced by 20% of the people. The 80% are largely dead weight and get in the way of productive work and cause problems. One of the reasons I think Apple was so successful for as long as they were is that the 80% were regularly culled from the work force.

Comment on: Microsoft reveals career-enhancing .PNG files

Yep. All true. I want people that can solve problems. I don't want people that tell me the way MS or some other vendor wants it done.

Comment on: Microsoft reveals career-enhancing .PNG files

Well and frankly I think they largely take money from people who really shouldn't be in the business. Owning my own IT business, I've completely given up on putting any value on certifications. So many people that have them are completely useless.

Exactly. All IT certification programs are just alternate revenue streams for whatever company is pushing them.

Comment on: Why can't programmers... Program?

I've been working in IT for about 34 years, I confess I might not be able to do this task. Here's why. I started life as an Intel assembly language programmer. Over the years, the last time I checked I've programmed in maybe 30 different languages. What I can tell you is that all programming languages are essentially the same, what is different is the syntax and the functions. I honestly don't program much in any particular language anymore. When I do it's to fix somebody else's code that doesn't quite work right (or the way I want it to). But, if you asked me to write you a program on a piece of blank paper in any particular language I couldn't do it. My problem is I don't program in any one language enough to remember the syntax, I always have to look it up. Can I do it with reference material, certainly, off the top of my head no way. Does this make me a bad programmer? Maybe. Can I write you a program in most any language if you allow me reference, certainly.
