Universities
I really do wonder what the Universities think they're teaching these days. Once upon a time graduates knew something of software engineering; now they seem to produce a bunch of people who think that hacking a load of code together is a "professional" way to do it, "never mind if it's wrong to begin with that's what Agile is for..". As for writing anything that isn't web based, oh dearie me.
Well, this is great for those of us who like to spend an iota or two thinking about what the hell it is we're writing. We're more likely to get it right, sooner. I've got nothing against Agile development methods as such (if appropriate and done well it's fine), but one does see the label being attached to projects that are nothing but massive hack-fests that never actually produce a useful output.
