CV
Updated my CV again in preparation for the move back to the real world. I have nothing new to add, just some editing, re-ordering, and prioritising. I also added a printer-friendly style-sheet.
As part of my attempts at reintegration I’m refreshing my knowledge of programming languages. I’m doing some Java and J2EE exercises at the moment. As I wade through the J2EE API it’s occuring to me that the software problems we are trying to solve haven’t changed that much in the last 10 years. The tools have improved -the J2EE handles many things that would have been done by hand ‘in my day’- but the problems and domains haven’t changed much. The MVC features strongly, seperating spec from implementation is important, security localisation, etc., etc. essentially the same problems coming up over and over again.
So why are there still so many bugs?
