The students of Professor Andrew Tanenbaum will never have expected to see this mess in the real world. The Professor never mentions this scenario anywhere in his textbooks. He probably does not know himself.
This is one of the reasons many companies insist on hiring experienced people. In my humble opinion, what the companies really need are fresh minds to change this mess. Unfortunately, most people who do have good ideas on bringing about changes get drowned before getting a chance to make a difference. Those who do survive just keep on doing what they are good at – breaks and fixes. Sign.
P.S. Here is a FAQ site on Professor Andrew S. Tanenbaum, the fearless leader of MINIX worldwide movement (if not yet a cult). http://www.cs.vu.nl/~ast/home/faq.html
