  • RE: Why does my SELECT query only return results with "TOP XX" in front of it?

    Grady Booch, now there a name I haven't heard in awhile. The "Einstein of IBM"(kind of looks like him too) he came up with UML didn't he?:-D

    I've discovered that, just as there are ideologues in politics, there are ideologues in methodologies as well.

    Oh definitely. First came the high priests of the mainframe... and...

    Like you, I come here to learn (although the occasional pontification is enjoyable, too). I hope you did not take offence at my words, as I simply didn't understand...

    It really forced me to think the entire design through before I wrote the first line of code. That seems to be something lost in...

    Lisa, how about expanding your thoughts on the two types into a larger article?

    Well, as all of us oldsters probably know, the concept isn't original with me. ...

    I just hope they don't make a movie with Meryl Streep playing a carpenter, or I'll get even more confused.

  • RE: Is Software Engineering Dead?

    Jeff, Craig, you've misread. I quoted Steve accurately and, in his response, he shows that he understands the distinction between "job" and "work". I'm sure you do, too.

    I think I wrote the "same job", not the "same work". I agree with much of what you've said, though.

    Nope, I just checked to see...

    This has been a very interesting topic that has hit a lot of people strongly, and from several different angles: ageism in the workplace, good/bad management practices,...

    Lisa, I did not make a bad analogy. The fact that you can't understand that really surprises me. I would think a software developer would have better analytical thinking...

    I thought the parallel with Mrs. Streep from levynissim was pretty good. We don't think that experienced people in many industries are worse than younger...
