Oh I have some!

Computer science is still a hobby and has a lot to go through before it is an actual industry.

Developers are too often bad engineers.

Short development cycles are a bad thing.

POO is trash. It's a manager tool, not an engineering one.

Developers are too often bad engineers.

This I agree with, but would excuse it by simply stating investment isn't there for proper engineering standards. I'd love to produce bug-free tested to reasonably unbreakable, ethically implemented code every single time. But I'd be out of a job pretty quickly and replaced by someone willing to do it faster with more critical bugs and no thought of the ethical implications of a failure.

As an industry, we like to think of ourselves as supremely rational, but we can't apply even the most basic scientific principles. So much conventional wisdom has never actually been tested or proven, so we keep reinventing and flip flopping on best practices.

what is POO? Can't find a definition on google

[–] bouh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah it's French for object oriented programming

Ahh okay je vois. Je cherchais "poo" sur google, les résultats étaient pas génials.
