> There is something special about software engineering that deserves a bit of thought - the discipline is all of 20-30 years old

20-30 years? You think software engineering began in 1990 at the earliest?

Common production software, GCC for example, is older than that.



Maybe he meant 70s-80s?

God knows 10 years ago is always gonna feel like 1990.
