Re: The top 10 dead (or dying) computer skills

Software development skills are dying out in general. Now you get "software engineers" who don't understand memory management, O(n) algorithm complexity/performance issues, scalability, modularity, etc. You get people build things ad-hoc without doing any up-front design, and they have to completely rebuild it when they fond that it doesn't scale, or uses too much memory, or doesn't perform. You get people who don't understand the basics of round-trip data integrity and testing that code actually does what you intend before checking it in. It's the day of the cowboy coder.
