Pay Phones and Pointers

I recently read an interesting little article on the upcoming college class of 2010. It expounded on how, among other items, this upcoming generation of college grads never really knew what it was like to search for a pay phone. Imagine that! I did and it made me feel old, so I shifted my thought to a tangent. Imagine the latest generation of developers, working in managed code environments who don't worry about pointers, malloc or deal with heap corruptions.

Managed code has done a lot to alleviate the pains of development. We produce code faster (not faster code) and without the worries because the managed code runtime does it all for us, right????

Well, we can always add more memory......
