What's the point of comments like this?

There were so few comments in this thread I ended up reading through the comments in the other ones. One of those links is far more rich in discussion.

Last time posted was almost a year ago, the information is still very much relevent and interesting.

Probably, if you started studying or learning software engineering sometime between then and now.
