As there is no program without bugs, there is no procedure that is
foolproof. Even so, Mr Farber could be a late bloomer.
I'm no professor of anything, just a worker bee like most of us. But,
after a decade or two, it becomes painfully obvious that the programming
language is almost irrelevant. The success/failure of any project begins
and ends with top management.
Blaming the programming language, workers, or phase of the moon bespeaks
inept leadership.

I agree 100%. Unfortunately, too many organizations depend on a "college
degree", rather than any demonstration of good sense or experience. Any
dummy with a MBA (which really means very little) can get a job in
management of nearly any organization, all too often to the ultimate
detriment of his/her employers. The "shekel counters" and the lawyers
have done irreparable harm, and continue to do so, to the detriment of
those of us who actually are qualified (by experience) and WANT to do a
good job. Personal pride in doing a good job is now secondary to fancy
paper that means nothing in the "real world".
I still believe in discrimination; based on ability to do the job. Does
that make me some sort of pariah???
