The transition is still undergoing. Takes a while to switch.

6·13 days agoI’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe
Originality is uncertainty, and shareholders don’t like uncertainty. Better to spend the money on certain failures instead.
I’m looking forward to the coming superhero universe reboot - now with fun CGI animal.
21·26 days agoI was in on the crypto hate. I don’t really have a hate boner for AI.
Sure, there are things to dislike about AI, but it can be moderately useful. In contrast to crypto, AI is the hype because it’s widely used. Crypto was the hype because a few people hit the jackpot.
It’s annoying when going through a list of multiple ”1 month ago” entries. Maybe I’m looking for an entry at a certain date. Aim with mouse, wait one second, repeat.
What I could easily visually identify in less than 1 second can take more than 10 seconds to find.
It also greatly increases the cognitive load of using the program. If there are many entries to look for, then it’s going to be difficult to keep all actual dates in memory.
”Where was the 14 April entry? I need to check again. Ah there it is! Now I need to compare it against the 30 April entry. Where was it again? It was just in front of me…”
Then mouse hover doesn’t work on mobile.
Showing ”2 weeks ago” or ”1 month ago” instead of the actual date. ”1 month ago” can be anything between 30 days and 60 days ago.
God is like that abusive father who’s throwing a fit whenever someone is having a mind of their own.
Why did you eat that fruit?!? You and all your descendants are going to be punished for all eternity!!!
Like, the only morally good thing God has said is to not kill, but he’s not really a good subscriber on that one himself.
I see Brazil the same way as an artist going on world tour
Same could be made about Christians finding arguments for why God is a good source of moral values.
It’s more like American car centric culture vs rest of the world.
I don’t think the $500 million marketing budget would’ve worked if Java was introduced at a time other than the 90s.
The 80s would’ve been too early. It would just turn into a parenthesis in programming language history (next to smalltalk). The 00s would’ve been too late. It would’ve missed the dotcom bubble boat. Java came in the right time to become a dominant programming language.
I’m not saying the marketing didn’t have any influence. It probably had an big influence in which OOP language was selected for computer science education.
I don’t think OOP is as bad as many people make it out to be. It’s perfectly fine in moderation.
The problem is that it can lead to over engineered applications when abused.
Usually the teachers/professors/lecturers have no real world experience of software development besides the usually university projects
Adding to this: university projects are built on a relatively short timeframe compared to many industry projects. The growing pains that typically occur after a few years of continuous development is unlikely with the small scale of university projects.
I wouldn’t go to a university professor for advice on how to build a system that will last a decade of development.
People build their identities around their cars because society is making sure that you feel confined without a car.
