I have news for you... He's not wrong. The porcelain is different, but the same methodologies and processes are in place. The biggest change recently is distributed (mostly ignored) version control, that's 20 years old, and continuous integration/development (probably also around 20 years old, but only catching on in the last 10-15 years).
Computer science has changed more, there are lots of developments in the last 5-10 years.
- bombcar 3y agoThe biggest change I’ve seen in 20 years is that things like DVCS and actual good tool chains for languages people actually use are available and in use.
- _a_a_a_ 3y ago> there are lots of developments in the last 5-10 years So tell us what these are so I/we can learn from you

- nick__m 3y agoyour talking about the porcelain of software engineering, is talking about the core of the profession...
- PeterisP 3y agoIf you switch to a different framework that does the same things slightly differently and makes something more convenient, and do that three times over the years, that's still perfectly consistent with "Software hasn't changed in the last 10 years" - it's simply not a meaningful change, nor would be switching to a different programming language.
