"Object-oriented programming has its drawbacks, of course."
They say it takes 10 years to become an expert in anything. In my case, with OOP, I did it in 6. I would highly advise to anyone that once you become expert level in anything - don't hang around for long: make sure you've got the next meal ready for your brain as it will hate you if you haven't.
Was not intentionally grandiose. The intention was to avoid superfluous detail given the context.
Thanks

Great! I'm jealous :) But you might want to consider the way you talk about yourself to other people. Even from a selfish perspective, becoming an expert in communication reaps many rewards - and the right level of humility is very important in communication. Both your comments come off as very egotistical, although I'm sure that wasn't your intention.
- nbevans 8y agoHi yatherm. Thanks for the comments. It is possible, after reading the OP article and being caught up in the shock moment of "this guy's story is identical to mine!" that I commented in a bit too much of a "Alcoholic's Anonymous" style that is inappropriate for HN. Ah well.
