Re: What is a Modern RPG Programmer???

To answer the poster from the Twin Cities. I am a programmer who has had
this question sent to me from a recruiter. Possible employer is asking this
question. Have no idea if HR is asking this question or the question comes
directly from the technical people who might interview.

Modern programming is a silly concept, as we who program IBM systems know:
programming is layered, and some of the strata are geological.

But what's very big today is microservices.

Interesting post and likely to start religious wars!!

I thought I'd go outside the IBM i world and Google for "what is a modern
programmer" - first hit that interested me has this statement, which I
think is pretty worth looking at:

I submit to you that modern programming has little to do with the look of

your desktop. Graphical user interfaces are only skin deep. Modern
programming techniques are all about processes and actual tools, not the
skin on top of them. I don’t care whether you are using Eclipse or

Emacs…

this tells me nothing about how modern you are.

The link is at https://lemire.me/blog/2017/07
/15/what-is-modern-programming/ and is by a comp sci prof at University
of Quebec.

I'm not sure I think that modern programming is about sending stuff to
Twitter or to the web - that's maybe one aspect, the output side, but

that

isn't about my approach - I can do all that with bad technique, with the
best or worst of us.

OK, I'll start ducking now!

Cheers
Vern

Been asked to show how I am programming as a MODERN RPG PROGRAMMER.

Would it be using completely FREE FORMAT from F specs to C specs.

Embedded SQL that is just dropped in the code.

No /Free statements.

Would like the groups thoughts.
