<p>That's the difference between programming and software engineering.<p>A software engineer should be able to talk directly to customers to capture requirements, turn that into spec sheet, create an estimate and a bunch of work items, write the whole system (or involve other developers/engineers/programmers to woek on their work items), and finally be able to verify and test the whole system.<p>That entire role is software engineering. Many in the industry suck at most of the parts and only like the programming part.<p>I think the hardest part is requirements gathering (e.g. creating organized and detailed notes) and offloading work planned work to other developers in a neat way, generally speaking, based on what I see. In other words, human friction areas.</p>

<p>Denouncing is an odd word to use or expect. A a Christian isn't going to "denounce" the Bible, even if it's the Old Testament.<p>I think the proper way to put it is seeing the Old Testament through the vision of Jesus Christ as the Messiah and fulfillment of the Old Testament, which itself is complicated and confusing. It really confused St. Paul when he realized through his vision the Truth, and it took time for him to reconcile his knowledge of Scripture with the reality of Christ.<p>Regardless, too many Protestants find that hard, because that admits that Christ fulfilled the Jewish faith, and that is "antisemitic"...see Ted Cruz as an example of that opinion. He thinks fulfillment theology is some sort of error, but it's exactly what the apostles came to believe and practice.<p>Anyway, I hope more Christians come to listen to the current Pope. I could understand ignoring Pope Francis, as he was relatively inconsistent and incoherent, especially for English speakers, but Pope Leo has not shown the same negatives yet.</p>

<p>Please elaborate what semi-perverde form of Catholicism JD Vance follows.<p>Biden promoted direct theology against church teaching. The most obvious was his public and private stance on abortion, and beyond that, the actual work he did to bring about more evil through that dark ritual.</p>

<p>Considering Christians should be putting the New Testament on a higher order than the Old, it should be trivial to not be stuck in the Old.<p>You probably can thank Christian Zionism and sola scriptura for people forgetting about Jesus while talking about the OT endlessly.<p>Both of those heresies truly derive from a sense of individual automony and authority, placing the individual nearly equal with God</p>

<p>Many Catholics were Democrats, although their recent insanity in the last 10 years made many realize the Democrats have nothing resembling them.<p>Many Catholics currently feel politically lost, as weird as that is. You have so many "Catholics" running around DC, but few of them can or will regurgitate any of the teachings of the Church, Biden being the most recent prominent example.<p>Many are hopeful that JD Vance might finally fill that gap, but atheists and Evangelicals will probably keep their alliance growing rather than permit traditional Catholicism to have a revival politically.</p>

<p>C# isnt a duck type language (well, you can do that via dynamic keyword, but I don't know who would do that typically).<p>Most integration libraries in Nuget (aka c#'s cargo) are AB type libraries.<p>E.g.
DI Container: Autofac
Messaging Library: MediatR
Integration: MediatR.Extensions.Autofac.DependencyInjection<p>There are many examples of popular libraries like this in that world.</p>

<p>I think that goes back to whether they are programmers vs engineers.<p>Engineers will focus on professionalism of the end product, even if they used AI to generate most of the product.<p>And I'm not going by "title", but by mindset. Most of my fellow engineers are not - they are just programmers - as in, they don't care about the non-coding part of the job at all.</p>

<p>Agreed. Modern news is beyond lazy, and is not journalism by any means. Too many talking heads do nothing but sit behind a screen watching others for what to say next.<p>Granted, a few of the remaining newspapers I'm aware of run business awards (Best restaurant, etc), and the way to win is via wining and dining them, even though the paper claims it's based on people's votes.<p>That style of thinking - of entitlement - probably brought the lack of interest in both cable news and traditional web/paper outlets - as the younger generations started to see through it more.</p>
