The marriot app sounds like a fine idea but poorly designed. Proper algorithm design could minimize yoyoing.

I don't mean to sound like an old codger, but programming ain't what it used to be.

Many of the latest generation of programmers seem to have no concept of the underlying processes that their software is supposed to automate or support. It seems lately that software is becoming more and more prettied up and graphic intense and less and less useful.

A what-should-be-frightening trend I've seen is that, as the software becomes an obstacle to accomplishment, people are starting to switch back to paper because they need to get their work done and the software isn't helping.

It's possible it's not the programmers at fault and they're just doing what they're told or not being given adequate specifications, but it seems so prevalent that I'm beginning to think developers have lost sight of why their software is supposed to exist.

Development was farmed out to the cheapest offshore shop in Hyderabad, I'm sure.
