I went for an interview for the AIX group and they were just oozing desperation as the number of people who can do kernel programming ain't what it used to be. The direction of the industry for years now has been RAD. Web 2.0 is all the rage. All of the undergrads here complain because they have to learn C which isn't "the road ahead". Most university CS programs don't even require C anymore. You honestly think this doesn't have an effect on the pool of talent? You said: "There is not one company developing for the PS3 that has anyone that can figure it out with the money that is on the line? Especially at Sony of all companies?" You are right, what I was saying that NOT ONE company developing for the ps3 has a single programmer familiar with traditional parallel techniques. |
While it still sounds shakey to me, you travel in those circles and I don't so I'll bow to your experience there. That is bad news or people hoping to see an improvement from the PS3 (myself included, I do have one) in the near future, perhaps even this generation.
I give that post a 10.
Thank god for the disable signatures option.
