The amount of ignorance in here masquerading as experience and knowledge is staggering. My father was right about so many things. The one I have in mind right now is when he said "age is another form of strength against the nitwit, because those with experience see straight through those with misplaced confidence." He was right. I'm not calling anyone here a nitwit or anything, please be clear on that. It's just amazing how wrong some of you are, while sounding so absolutely sure of yourselves. A few don't even get easily researched technical details correct, while trying to sound authoritative. My point is that maybe this is related to why software development is in the sorry state it is in today: the ignorant are confident they know it all, and the knowledged are confident that they know very little.
