From: thunk on 6 Apr 2010 16:03 Josh, you go to great effort to help a novice programmer, right? so you have this 32+ plus year programmer that has seen a few things, helped grown a new industry (first bitmapped, first DB'd, first new class of product) and he IS NOT ABOUT selling anything..... and you don't know how to deal with an "outlier", but how else would you explain this, huh? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlier and ol' thunk is not ashamed of this or should he be?
From: thunk on 6 Apr 2010 16:41 Josh, guys, Try this on? Ol thunk was doing "inter-Corporation" to factories in the 80's & 90's what you guys are rather "doing to the world". We had DOS which was solid enough and the job got done. Along came windoz and thunk walked off, but he didn't die... he did Smalltalk, and kept himself entertained doing micro-spits on ceramic substrates and such at places like Alfred University Innovation Center and such.. THEN ol'thunk is looking over books at a Barnes & Noble and it is about "Ruby" and he is rather - re-incarnated so to say. He goes off and works and plays with some ruff-dogs in CO and gets some idea of how the new world is shaped (Thank you Alcott) and he does some Craigslist, finds some people in Berlin (his secret world capital) and runs 3 official packages past a interesting couple people and he senses ho-hum (he does this kinda thing - he was in business 15 - 30 years) and wings on a #4 which is this "shopping basket" idea. He pushes a lot of code around even in his advancing years, goes through the nights and piece by piece a puzzle emerges - all kinds of things about "Systems" - recognizing one, diagnosing one, BUT his DSL trick of Old blows up into a complex monster despite his very best efforts, and despite that fact that Wisconsin hands him lot of cold, windy nights to just do what he does. A NEW approach, like 180 degrees opposite occurs to him using some rules, well he outlines maybe 10 things that would have to happen to make that come together, AND RUBY DOES THAT AND GOES ON TO SAY "hey, I can do this too" - like those Simpleton Methods - wow -and a real guru or two (amazing ramazians mostly) helps him along and a critique his code and tell him - if you feel an urge to do a switch statement ol timer - call me - those are tot/dead (they all seem to be germans) and so the whole thing goes on - this is 3 years - and there is pressure and there isn't - up here a good job ain't that good - there was a consulting gig for a big yacht company and CNNs stuff for the British owners - not without just changing the whole way they build their boats - but the software they could use didn't fit with anything except CinCom and.... but I digress. So, saying this is not about RUBY doesn't fly And saying this is about SALES - or BOOKS (mr ryan) would not be true And saying this is just a waste of time, will be true if a connection can't be made - but ol'thunk could headbutt with the Terminator. and win. but he's really not into repeating himself to people that glaze over, and you dear people do not strike me as that type, but maybe this is the new world...and the old world is listening??
