-**********Matric certificate showing an A or B in Maths HG.*

When last was Maths separated into HG and SG? AFAIK it has been a few years.

If you did maths HG in 1990, would that be a D or an E ?

We love "Banking software"?!!! First time I hear! BS is the latest everyone want to develop, because it's a mess of legacy sh*t, strict rules on using new technologies and lot-lot-lot of old data designed by hell knows who and which you cannot change. Thanks, better I write one more editor.

I think a lot of people in SA just want a job.. and then they get it they bitch about the dev they doing and try stupidly to force the products to adhere to what they want. At least that is the experience I have with newb developers in Fintech. It never ends well.. and if it were me I’d fire then asap as it’s a waste of time. But that’s me.. not everyone can work on stuff which is boring as hell as the major want to work on the latest frameworks and front-ends..

THIS is stupid try to turn situation to what you want. If people wanna change something (or all ) that means your system at least smells. At maximum you support dead elephant, trying to paint it. Such sh***ty systems exist everywhere, from bank to airport. CEO is too greedy to make it properly, he prefers ALL his employees suffer from sh*ty software than rewrite it.

It never ends well..

Sorry, just your experience. If professionals come with proper technology, everything goes well.

not everyone can work on stuff which is boring as hell

Again wrong. You completely miss the point behind the word "new". Banking itself IS NOT boring at all! It's a huge, interesting task, BUT ONLY if it done properly from the start. Reality is none of current systems is ideal or architected by the best of us. Moreover - some systems were just bought from somebody else(!!!). You get piece of software and nobody knows what and how it works - developers just sit aside and join their modules. Or use legacy tools. Or try to convert UTF to ASCII just because one idiot-architect made fields "ascii only". THIS is boring and annoying.
You have to study how to distinguish "modern" from "new hype" - it's two different things.

Sharepoint is awesome if it has been installed by someone who knows what they were doing.

Sharepoint is awesome if it has been installed by someone who knows what they were doing.

There is quite a difference between installing it professionally and trying to make custom implementations outside of its context and intent. I'm also talking about much earlier versions such as 2002/2003. 2010 was already better, but its still hamstrung by people trying to fit the shoe to a hand; or simply inept to apply themselves with tools given.

I'd rather retry sharepoint instead of "zomg, the banking app all devs like". Any line like that is reaching for it or scraping the bottom. Who are all these devs that just like it?

Devs don't just all like it *roll eyes*.
