Originally posted by RedSauce View PostPlus their code is usually over-engineered, use technology for the sake of using it and not particularly well written. In my experience, problem solving ability and soft-skills are more important for the majority of gigs than known the latest and greatest obscure features of a language.

Originally posted by sasguru View PostIt's years since I did proper software development, and I had just learned Java and OOP, before I retrained in stats, over 10 years ago.
But I have a question for you current software dev gurus: my eighties CS education 25 years ago did not specify any particular methodology for development, we just learned about top level stuff like NP-complete problems and feasible versus non-feasible problems, algorithmic processes etc.
So is all this OOP stuff just a distraction? It seems to me there's nothing you can't do with a standard procedural language where you just create software using top-down or bottom-up programming with a collection of black-box functions that you put together?

Sasguru does not appear to know much about software. He protesteth too much.
