19:35 | < abudhabi> | 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 |
