Are we back in the 60s?

I just saw on one of my state's official websites:
Computer Programmers -- Convert project specifications and statements of problems and procedures to detailed logical flow charts for coding into computer language.
(Emphasis mine.) Glad I'm a Software Developer rather than one of those.Yeah, but just think if they did still teach that. How to think and approach a problem is more useful than "use this or that framework". I used to have a template for drawing the things.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated. I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

I agree. I'm glad that when I took my first programming class (BASIC in 1983) we had to submit flow charts.

From the point of view of an amateur, flow charts are a good thing. They emphasize the logic of how to solve the problem. OOPS emphasizes the bureaucratic details of instantiating objects, constructor functions, templates and dependencies. 60's music was better, too.

Continues to be better. Anything up to about 1990.

(Emphasis mine.) Glad I'm a Software Developer rather than one of those.I make flow charts for the code I write for the OpenComputers Minecraft mod. Makes it easier to implement. I also make flow charts for all the various processing stuff I have to set up to figure out what I need and how to lay it out.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Good music continues to be made. You might have to look for it. Look through KEXP's playlists - you will likely find something you like: [https://www.youtube.com/@kexp\](https://www.youtube.com/@kexp)

This looks interesting: Flowgorithm is a free beginner's programming language that is based on simple graphical flowcharts. Flowgorithm - Flowchart Programming Language[^]

Did you consider that they might be using COBOL. And not Object COBOL but actual COBOL. Quite a few years ago I had to extensively modify an older C application and realized I could no longer even think in structured programming. I had to use a model that allowed me to simulate OO via C. A junior programmer thought that was cool and I didn't explain it was just a hack so I could implement it.
