So you prefer 1970s unix schtick to 1990s object oriented schtick?

I do. The GP was rude, but has a point.

I spent several years in the OO-agile ecosystem. I'm glad to be out of it. In retrospect, it feels shallow to me; I'm not sure exactly why. Maybe it has something to do with emphasizing half-baked methodological ideas over concrete system-building.

One of the guys who signed the agile manifesto told me that he decided it had taken the "human" side of software development too far. He was joking, but I think he was on to something.
