c'mon, if you are as smart as you believe yourself to be, do you actually believe that the reason they ported their Perl code to Java was because "Amazon is a Java company"?
I could see many reasons to port one of the worlds largest sites off of Perl and onto something like Java, one being the availability of developers that are proficient in Java vs Perl.
Also, if the company you work at uses OOP to design their systems it's perfectly normal to ask you to design something with regards to those restrictions.
- asuffield 13y agoIf a company "uses $thing to design their systems" as a matter of dogma, I don't work there. And "Amazon is a Java company" was the actual reason given by the people I talked to. If they were lying or had no idea why they were doing the thing they'd been told to do, that's just a different reason why I won't work there.
