In a book I'm reading, someone in some kind of magazine was quoted to have said that software engineers have a half-life of their expertise going obsolete of less than 3 years.
19:35
< abudhabi>
This seems inaccurate.
19:37
< abudhabi>
Temporally abduct some 10yr software development veteran from the 80s, and they'd probably fit in just as well as anyone else on the team after a brief refresher on what is not required to do by hand anymore.
20:07
<&McMartin>
If your idea of "software engineer" is "someone who took a javascript bootcamp once" this is more true
20:07
<&McMartin>
I have *extremely firm opinions* regarding people who treat being Oracle-Certified Java Engineers as necessary for a job and the quality of the work that results from it
20:08
<&McMartin>
(Not quite the same sentiment as the first, but)
20:26
< Emmy>
ehhh, did they have modern OOP back in the 80s?
20:26
< abudhabi>
My opinion is that the underlying mental skillset of a software engineer is extremely transferable to a different set of specific tools.
20:26
< Emmy>
That is true, though.
20:28
< abudhabi>
I don't think they had the World Wide Web in the 1980s. :V
20:29
< Emmy>
Well, certainly not to the current standard, no XD
20:29
< abudhabi>
"This is Google. It's like grep, but you search every public computer in the world."
20:29
< abudhabi>
(I checked. They had grep in the 1980s!)
20:29
< Emmy>
It's very noticeable, i think. I have only 7 years of experience, pretty much all of it on desktop/databases, yet i pick up PHP/Laravel at a glance
20:30
< abudhabi>
Yes.
20:30
< Emmy>
I am *very* certain i could not have managed that even 5 years ago
20:31
< abudhabi>
My pitch for the job I have now was like, "I did Java before and C# is like Java, so I'll pick it up fast." :V
20:58
< Emmy>
neat
