everywhere I ever worked, and I did lots of resume reviews and hiring interviews, we thru out any resumes that had any certifications on them. Period. After interviewing enough people that could only answer questions off the tests in the order they were asked on the tests, it became extremely apparent, anyone who spent the money to get "certified" was more stupid than we wanted working for us.
actually YES!
In the UK it is ILLEGAL to do anything in a car that "limits your ability to control the vehicle" which is a very broad way of saying BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL! So technically it is illegal to talk on a cell phone, eat or drink or do anything that requires you to be otherwise occupied with anything other than concentrating on the TASK of driving.
The closer we get to that kind of restriction, and the quicker the better it will be.
funny thing is when I was teaching Programming classes, OOA/ODD, etc.
I banned all note taking regardless of medium, just to get the students to actually listen to what was being said and to think and concentrate on the concepts and not just write down everything I said word for word. They were allowed to take notes during a brief "review" session at the end of each class where they discussed what we had covered amoungst themselves while I listened in and corrected where needed.
It worked great, there was a bunch of bitching and moaning at first but at the end of the class they all thought it was a great idea / experience.
He might have created something that "works" like Flickr, but I really doubt it is scalable to thousands and thousands of _CONCURRENT_ users and terabytes of data!
You are right, the db schema should NOT be the object model and vice versa, the object model should not dictate the db schema! It might work for TOY applications, but for real world large scale applications it just doesn't work. And guess what, a relational database is not the only source of data! Matter of fact for all high performance massively scaleable systems even the most expensive relational database will be the bottle neck to throughput and blocking of processing. If you have thousands of database tables ( ERP systems for example ) you can't have one object per table it just doesn't make sense.
ActiveRecord Pattern doesn't scale out past TOY applications, anything with complex join rules and complex storage rules where things have to all save or none, or some updates, inserts can fail but others can't or don't just doesn't work with ActiveRecord pattern.
The ActiveRecord pattern is NOT new, and it won't scale out past a few dozen tables. Never has, there is a REASON that it is not a successful pattern in ALL languages. For TOY applications, it might be fine, but for say something like an ERP system with thousands of tables, it just won't scale out performance or maintanence wise, never will.
Idea has MORE features if anything than Eclipse when it comes to smooth Java development. Intellij IDEA is hands down _THE_ development environment for Java! That said, I do use Eclipse for all my Python development, and even then Komodo is prefered to Eclipse.

Hope it wasn't Billy West!
you are correct, age might not matter, it is experience that does, and that is based on TIME. So time matters . . .

there were no republicans or democrates or religous fanatics trying to force their views on me!

they are so busy creating new exploits in the next version of windows they don't have the time to fix the old ones!
what the hell is the world coming to? XML is a PLAIN TEXT FILE! How can you patent a format? It is like a recipe, you can't patent that?
find a new place to work! you can't "fix" this guy or this place, trying to is going to kill you or kill your desire to work "with computers" at all.
the Commodore 64 was $99 way back in the mid-eighties this is old news!
