Software development technology changes too fast for people to rest their
laurels and not keep up. That's why I always recommend looking at the past 3
years experience on a candidate's resume since anything after that for the
most part may not be helpful to me or the intended client.
If by anything after that you mean anything before that, then you
may be missing rather a lot.
It's well over 20 years since I first started doing relational database
design, SQL, UNIX, TCP/IP, systems analysis, object-oriented
programming, agile project management, test-driven development,
automated builds and version control. HTTP and HTML have been around for
well over a decade. None of these things are remotely new. The most
complicated and important component of any system - the human being - is
also quite an old design.
What are the seismic changes that have taken place in software
development over the last three years that have made those technologies
pale into insignificance? From a web development point of view, the
biggest recent innovation that I can think of is ASP.NET's event model,
which is so contrived that it *deserves* to be met with hesitation and
disdain - and that's at least 6 or 7 years old.
