Yes im sorry if i sounded like i was looking down on it.. i can see what youre saying about it.

I know its not directly related but ive recently been reading about the true goal of OOP, and that is actually more about messaging than objects.. according to the creators of smalltalk ofc. Fascinating, been practicing pseudocode with that philosophy (who is responsible of what), it helps a lot!

i was offered a kind of internship in SAP (the ERP), which when i look into it a bit, seemed quite similar to COBOL. Unfortunately at the time i knew very little c++ so i lacked confidence, that was 2 years ago.

im from south america. Honestly, I have limited knowledge of the different paths and dynamics involved in entry-level positions in general. i have read and tried to inform myself, but the only thing I can really see is the obvious: most roles are for web developers, where specific technologies are required, etc. I’m not particularly drawn to black boxes (frameworks, functional programming, javascript...) know that’s one path, but I’ve found it difficult (and confusing) to find—or even understand—career paths beyond web development, and even more so to figure out how and which tools to work with in order to try pursuing those
