No arguments with anything you said. The fact is though, this guy, despite having all the qualifications on paper to be a winner, was a loser. We later heard through the grapevine that he'd been a loser at his other places of employment, and was cruising through Silicon Valley on the strength of his degrees and schools. As CJ had said, for this guy, OO programming was a religion. At our startup, hitting the marketing set product releases was OUR religion. They weren't compatible.

Inode, I already know the benefits of OO programming, and in fact I've come to take them for granted. But a highly theoretical guy would not be used to schedules, deadlines, and requirements set by marketing. Someone who majored in music and math usually are theoretical guys in nature. Hence if it takes a year to transition employees to OO programming, but the next deadline is nine months away, the theoretical guy would be at a loss to deal with this reality. Tenchusatsu
