Agreed. Convincing upper management of that is the challenge. The struggle is real.

@freemo - Thank you! I really never thought that I would see myself in such a large, corporate environment, but now I know that there are some little pockets of resistance...

@freemo
I totally agree with you. I got my OOP "A-ha" moment while learning Smalltalk. (If you want to force a mental paradigm shift to OOP, I would strongly suggest checking that out everything but the OS primitives are written in Smalltalk. It would probably break your mind to try to write procedural code there.)

I just think that, as we try to model more complex things, the pillars of OOP get kind of wiggly, and we have to jump through more hoops to stay "pure"

Honestly, @freemo, I really can't say why. Much like most of the best things in my life, this just kinda fell in my lap. I never use Twitter, I'm introverted, but not to the point of being xenophobic. The interwebs are such a toxic playground, and it's been such a pleasant surprise to find some solace in the storm.

Hats off to you, good sir.

C will always have its place. Python will give you the tools to change the oil, but C gives you the tools to do a full rebuild.

OOP has had quite the heyday, but people are starting to realize that one can't model the world in *those* simplistic terms. We get closer with each iteration...

Hello #QOTO! I've been away for a bit, but the time did serve me well - I have an offer letter in hand for a senior software engineer position with me po-dunk retailer (we'll just call them DollFart}.

I wanted to throw out a question, with ulterior motives attached... Are there any Well World fans out there?

Some days, you just want to strike a "Shawshank Redemption" pose...

@freemo - I'd love to take a stab at some of the issues that are posted, if you're okay with that. :)

Never see the end of the road.

I despise being tongue-tied, but I wait and watch for my love. There is no greater joy.

@Demo318 what's amazing is that we originally bought it with some blood orange olive oil. Dipping heaven for a sweeter bread. Got it from an awesome shop in Hot springs, ar

Just because...

Chocolate balsamic vinegar on top of cherry chocolate ice cream is a thing...

@freemo Ah, gotcha. Consider me no longer surprised, then. :)

@freemo yep. I don't see any harm in it; I was just kind of surprised to suddenly see this barrage of toots.

Please forgive me if I am out of line here, and this is most likely covered in the guidelines, in which case, I am doubly sorry. It's ad-hoc, bulk posting of research papers an okay thing? @freemo

Just because @bridget@LogicalBird asked...

Rather dated attempt to turn an original R.E.M.-esque song into an instrumental. Still proud of it after all these years...

Kind of stuck in a "retro" video kind of night. Could you imagine Christopher Walken playing Data on TNG?
