Maybe you should consider a different career, you sound pretty burnt out. There are terrible takes, especially for someone who is supposed to be fostering the next generation of developers. | ||

I don't foster the next generations. I hire them. External examiners are people in the industry who are used as examiners to try and match educations with the needs of the industry. | ||

It can take some people a few years to get over OOP, in the same way that some kids still believe in Santa a bit longer. Keep at it though and you’ll make it there eventually too. | ||
