:laugh: I should go back to something real, like x86 assembly. :)

Perhaps we should. We could spend our time programming something instead of learning things that soon will be replaced by other irrelevant things. And we could actually use our code more than once. Nothing is more productive than that and it also justifies spending more time to assure higher quality.

Nope. Plugboard wiring, like they did with the ENIAC! :laugh:

I have been thinking for a couple of weeks about writing about taking one application in a Line of Business (LOB) and walking through it. I just can't be arsed at this point, though it leads me to wonder what all those people at Oracle or SAP or doing!

I have been using C++ for 20+ years. I was forced to practice .NET a little, but I keep exerting substantial resistance. No doubt I will abstain from using the C++11 features for the next 10 years, both by taste and as a necessity: real-life people (or call them customers) tend to lag far behind thanks to the inertia of legacy code, and long term portability is a must. (I was recently asked to retrofit my software to 15 years old VB6!)

Reminded me of this: Bates 4000

These kind of discussions always remind me of Mel the Real Programmer
