It's funny. I still feel young. I am just not actually young. We have a big group of co-ops in - about 7. We usually have 1. Well, some of them just finished first year so that would put them around 18 or 19 years old. One of the frameworks that we use at work was created in 2000, so that puts it pretty close to the c-ops age. Crazy.
I look at them and see the confidence that I once felt. The confidence that you really know something when you've just had a light intro to it and really know jack-all. One of the guys said that he really knows java. We asked them if they had used annotations and no one had. That's one of the main features of version 5 which was released way back in 2004. So funny.
Today we gave them a firehose of information hoping that they'd retain 5%. It's funny how different school is from a job.
