Re Respect

'respect', 'responsibility', 'accountability', 'straight-line codeing', and the dodo bird each have
had their time, have served their pupose, and have been replaced by... the hell if i know.
but i am an old man and am not supposed to know.

pete. if the world was flat we could jump off; but maybe it's time to move to australia where
i hear there is still some 'respect' to be had. or maybe we should just adapt to the new
world we live in. i don't have that much time remaining so it wont be a big deal for me.

sss

ps. from time to time i write a 'cobol' program in 'straight-line' just to remember how it used
to be. but only to remember.

Thank you, Sea Side Sam, for your erudite comments. I'm sure we all learned something from
them.

We learned to not post after drinking.

No respect to be had in Australia, Sam - unless youre a sportsman (while
you're winning...)

In the computing area, any manager who has constructed a spreadsheet
considers herself a hot-shot database programmer, and expects to pay $20 per
hour for computer resources because that's all she needs to pay her niece to
produce a system that's very near to working using the programming skills
from the computing strand of her hairdressing course.

Sewing-machine mechanics and lawnmower-drivers - well, for the important
stuff, then you can expect to pay $80 per hour or more....
