People are generally decent (unless they're American, Swiss, or Dutch and money is involved), but they have to be aware of something before they'll be decent about it -- i.e. I'll bet the one who did the halting has younger siblings.

It is nice to see that there is people that still have been well educated. It somehow gives me a bit of hope in human kind.

I just started working on my first job as a software developer.
I just wanted to know if there is something like innovation in software, apart from fulfilling the project requirements and dealing with issues.

There is pretty much nothing but innovation in software. Innovation in programming environments and languages, innovation in architecture and programming methodologies, and innovation in team structure and project planning.
Congratulations on your first job. Learn as much as you can from those around you and from CP etc. Your turn to drive innovation is coming down the tracks..

Congratulation on your first job!
It is true that the main goal of software development is to finish the project, but that not means not innovation. There is a lot of it in fast. There are new languages and environments and frameworks and so on that you can learn and use for your job. And you can do old thing in a new way, that's innovation too...
The most important is - do not stop learning!

how about innovating new unseen ways of introducing bugs in software that are 42 times harder to debug?

There is, but most companies don't do it.

Of course there is innovation, there's always innovation in any aspect of life.
It looks like everything has been invented before, but it looks like that and it looked like that always, there is always room for improving.
From my point of view, innovation means making something that has not done before in that way, which give you some advantages.
In my department we try to write down all our ideas and we put them in a log which is checked from time to time. We add those features to our new designs after a while and give new features and advantages to our customers.
Step by step our software is each day better and grows up.

Of course there is!
There are wonderful things like all-cap menus, the ribbon, and Metro!
I don't know how you could even ask such a question.

Innovation is in deciding how you solve the problem (creating the requirements) and how you overcome unforseen obstacles (dealing with issues later). That's why agile is so good (when done correctly), because you can change the requirements (i.e. innovate) in response to the problem changing or becoming more clear.
|
|
|
|

Apart from simply fulfilling the project requirements, you should actually use the software you create and be able to find problems and suggest improvements before the customer does, or before it goes to testing.

I was thinking about the post below, and wondered if anyone could tell me any advantage of sitting in an open-plan office compared to private rooms.
|
|
|
|

There are none in my opinion. In our company they think that it's good that the programmers can "share knowledge" and confer about problems without having to move their butt out of the chair.
Personally, I have no problem getting up and walking 5 meters to the next room if I need to ask something... Besides: Isn't that what Scrum meetings are for?
It's just flucking laziness, and the price we pay is getting interrupted every flucking second.
Earlier, I've ranted about the collegue sitting right in front of me bringing in breakfast and eating it very noisily at his desk. Well, he did that again today! How can you tell somebody nicely to eat their breakfast at home in a time where everybody are so up tight and selfish, always claiming that they sure have the right to do any flucking thing they want?
Now look what you've done: You got me started on this... It's gonna be a long week!

Reason for asking is that we've moved offices, and now we're sitting in an open-plan office.
And I feel that it sucks big donkey balls.
I want to hear some good reason to sit in an open-plan office.
And on that subject, "Share knowledge" is an illusion when everyone needs to have earphones on to survive.
Oh, and by the way, this is why you shouldn't interrupt a programmer./[^]
Now I'm going to f*** up your week completely and ask about the advantages of scrum.

Fart loudly while he is eating.
If he says anything tell him to go someplace else to eat.
I have no qualms about being rude to rude people.
On the other hand if people are courteous to me I treat them in kind.
Once you lose your pride the rest is easy.
I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.
