I am a software engineer with around 10 years of experience. To find out about the internal beliefs and values that I hold, you can check out the articles that I wrote here. The truth is that at one point I strayed away from standard structured (AKA procedural) approach to object-oriented programming and took the OO purism path instead. This sometimes irritates other seniors, but I have to say I am rarely trolling, I just see software development differently now.
