       @505e06b2C will always have its place. Python will give you the tools to change the oil, but C gives you the tools to do a full rebuild. OOP has had quite the heyday, but people are starting to realize that one can't model the world in *those* simplistic terms. We get closer with each iteration... @freemo

       Honestly, @freemo, I really can't say why. Much like most of the best things in my life, this just kinda fell in my lap. I never use Twitter, I'm introverted, but not to the point of being xenophobic. The interwebs are such a toxic playground, and it's been such a pleasant surprise to find some solace in the storm.Hats off to you, good sir.

       Hello #QOTO! I've been away for a bit, but the time did serve me well - I have an offer letter in hand for a senior software engineer position with me po-dunk retailer (we'll just call them DollFart}.I wanted to throw out a question, with ulterior motives attached... Are there any Well World fans out there?

       @freemoI totally agree with you. I got my OOP "A-ha" moment while learning Smalltalk. (If you want to force a mental paradigm shift to OOP, I would strongly suggest checking that out everything but the OS primitives are written in Smalltalk. It would probably break your mind to try to write procedural code there.) I just think that, as we try to model more complex things, the pillars of OOP get kind of wiggly, and we have to jump through more hoops to stay "pure" @505e06b2

       @freemo - Thank you! I really never thought that I would see myself in such a large, corporate environment, but now I know that there are some little pockets of resistance...

       @freemoAgreed. Convincing upper management of that is the challenge. The struggle is real. @505e06b2
