When GOTOs roamed the land

Posted by castelaz on June 13, 2003 at 01:21 PM | Comments (2)

Perhaps its just me, but it seems Ive recently been encountering quite a few pronouncements declaring the end of green field development. I'm not exactly sure what many of the authors necessarily mean, but most make it sound like the party's over.

However, when I think about it, I don't feel any different, certainly not like an era has ended. Actually, what I suspect is that the green fields they're speaking of died around the same time GOTOs ceased to roam the land. Not that I'm advocating for a return of the GOTO. Besides the obvious fact that resurrecting them wouldn't bring back the green fields, they were messy, difficult beasts that produced enormous piles of dung that needed to be dealt with. Yet, the question remains, is the party over?

For myself, I dont believe it is. While the green fields others speak of may indeed be gone, theyve been gone for far longer than most of us believe. My work, and the profession at large, continues to be fun, intriguing, and challenging. Additionally, the beauty of working in the virtual world of programming is that new green fields are constantly sprouting.

  • Green fields, alive and well
    I'm not sure of the person's definition of Green
    Field, but there are new ( from scratch )
    applications being developed all of the time.
    I'v spent the last 7 years of my career on
    various green field development projects
    ( and I am thankful for that ).

    Software is still invigorating, fun, perplexing,
    and at times even a bit daunting. But would
    it be interesting any other way! Where else
    can people who like to build things have
    fun and get paid for it too!
