Most IT jobs are #bullshitjobs, as most IT jobs exist within a systemic and/or redundant context. Working for hosting provider #307 of 5000. Developing SEO tools, tax accounting software or "Clash of Micropayments"-clone #205. Or consulting for companies that should not exist.

Things become easier when you realise what Object Oriented Programming originally meant.
"OOP to me means only messaging, local retention and protection and hiding of state-process, and extreme late-binding of all things. It can be done in Smalltalk and in LISP. There are possibly other systems in which this is possible, but I'm not aware of them."

'That's the face of the Nice Guy Empire, also known as the rules-based int'l order, also known as the US-led world order. It presents the facade of humanitarianism & democratic ideals, but underneath it's just as savage & bloodthirsty as any other empire in history' ~ @caitoz https://twitter.com/caitoz/status/1544505840819847169
