I have been reading through some articles about how software engineering has been using the same methodologies, lifecycles, and paradigms over the past 30 years. I was wondering how others felt about this. Most of the traditional engineering concepts we use today originated decades ago. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance

Developers tend to be the type that once they find something that works, they stick with it. It's my opinion that these methodoligies are still around because they work. They are time tested and are still jsut as valid today as they were years ago.
I could be wrong... but that's just my opinion
I agree. I mean the incandescent lightbulb is pretty much the same technology since the 1900's.
But I also disagree that software engineering is at a stand still. Garbage Collection is a new concept, and Intellisense, and Fuzzy-logic....
