Developers that like new teschnologies tend to be bad developers.

Something I have noticed, people that follow the latest technology and jump onto the latest hype: They tend to produce a string of failed projects.
I actually think that the reason is simple, they are not that good and hope that new technology will save their projects. The moment their project becomes hard they flee the project and start all over again. They never complete the project.
Every project I fix, they spawn 3 new ones that will fail.

Anything you can do in your latest shiny middleware I can do in K&R C and/or lisp.
One time we coded a Forth interpreter in asm/c to fit inside 8kbytes of firmware. It was cheaper in space to do that than code the whole thing in C.
Good times. I fucking hate modern IDEs.

Was it hard seeing all your friends die when the meteor hit?

People that win the Darwin awards are not my friends.

"latest technology"
please, computers haven't changed significantly in my life. just more memory, more pixels, more bloat, and some useful software Im glad someone took the time to write

If they changed any more than they did they wouldn't be called computers anymore.

Latest software technology.

Latest technologies, not necessarily. Latest libraries? The worst programmers I've ever known use every goddamn library they come across to do the most mundane crap imaginable.

I have seen a guy using a external web rendering engine used as a component while all he had to do was a search and replace of a tag string in a static html file.
Now I am involved with a Javascrip project WTF!

Sometimes in programming you end up doing everything even if you have no training at all because many with the job can't do it worth a shit.

Anyone who uses the term "out-dated" in reference to programming needs to put a gun to their head. The programmers coming out of college and boot camps these days are giant cry-baby pansies who can't do anything without needing a million external libraries because they can't even program a fizz-buzz.
