Lunduke puts out an all-lives-matter-esque cartoon. #eyeroll

Getting really bored with people taking offense at positive change. #whichsideareyouon

@byllgrim@mastodon.xyz The real problem in software is how to manage building large projects in a sustainable way. i.e., project management. One of the problems found with a strictly functional approach, like Structured Analysis/Structured Design (SA/SD), was that requirements changes were very expensive to accommodate. Object technology (not the same as OOP) was supposed to be the solution to this problem.

The real solution lies somewhere in a mix of technologies. There is no silver bullet.

@fatboy ...on GitHub...

@fatboy Facebook is threatening Microsoft's monopoly.

@byllgrim@mastodon.xyz Computer science and software engineering seems to always boil down to programming languages to programmers. i.e., what are programmers dumb?

The talk pretty much ignored the evolution of software project management. There was no discussion of SA/SD. The evaluation basis was of popularity, not science.

@lunduke If only we could bring browsing the 90s web to modern computers. ;-)

@LeoSammallahti At least in the USA, options are dependent upon funding, not size. Public school funding comes from both public and private sources. Thus public schools with wealthier student pools have more options than schools with poor student pools.

Smaller schools are much more socially integrated than larger schools, which benefits the students much more.

The biggest driver of large school size is typically sports. A bigger talent pool wins state championships.

@lunduke Objective data can be validated, so you aren't always swimming in a dark pool of sources. Even subjective data can be held up against various observations, so it too can be categorized in a personal manner.

Once one has a data model, Twitter can be turned into an echo chamber via blocks and mutes.

Echo chambers can be invaded; even they require safeguards. Even without invasion, they can become twitter-like with too broad a subject matter.
