> Edsger W. Dijkstra's words [..] grow increasingly more valuable every year. Using a Dijkstra quote in an article where sentences such as "The profession now requires less mathematics and algorithms and instead emphasizes more skills under the umbrella term `sociotech.' are used. I wonder what Prof. Dijkstra would have to say about this "sociotech" umbrella. Actually I don't, because that's the value of having an understanding of a subject matter deeper than an Internet search and a copy and paste: it prevents one from throwing quotes and invented words around that sound good, but ultimately mean nothing useful. > It seems that the future of programming rests less in math and more in sociotech relationships between people. Or: it seems that the future of making your fortune with software rests less in math and more in marketing. True though it may be, I don't know how this relates to the discipline of computer programming.
