So after reading a FaceBook post about the Reactive Manifesto http://www.reactivemanifesto.org/ my first reaction was to simply say "yeah but this has always been the case - speak to any Performance Analyst"... but after some discussion it occurred to be that the old school developers who understand fundamentally what's going on under the hood are rapidly diminishing. I'm getting the feeling that the older generation are enjoying retirement quite nicely thank you very much.
So it's got me thinking. Being a programmer with over 30 years of experience in the world with no less than 12 languages under my belt from assembler to groovy, concurrency to event driven architectures, performance improvements to best-practice, would any younger people like a more grounded appreciation of why your programming language just "does" what you want it to, and you simply don't understand how or why it does it the way it does? If so, I think I've found my niche.
It would be great to get an idea of how relevant this is to you and your colleagues. Please let me know, I'd love to hear your opinions from you.
