Now let that sink in:

  • A lot of their system still depend on very old code/hardware. And those are decades old.

  • Those who knew how to deal with it are retiring/gone.

Now many of the so called newly hired 'coders' have no idea what they are dealing with and likely still just mimic and reuse code with no real understanding.

How much about software engineering do you know?

I understand the problems which arise with dead and archaic languages. When I was in college I learned, and have long since forgotten, a little scripting like html, javascript, and css. While using computers has always generally interested me, I find people who're more advanced on the topic are best avoided due to their own mental health issues.

While I know outsourcing, importing, and the demands of the intelligentsia have made the most significant impacts on who's allowed entry into such fields, it didn't help that most programmers who got in were either some derivation of retarded, or outright psychotic members of the intelligentsia. What person understanding the broader implications of being regularly exposed to mentally feeble and psychologically mal-adapted people would want to be around that for 45 or more hours a week?
