I'm always curious about other evolutionary offshoots than the Unix monoculture I mostly inhabit, but this intro... > Adaptive business and operating models, driven by accelerated disruptions, are shaping the future of enterprises today. Enterprises are embracing the next normal with an accelerated and strategic focus on application modernization, cloud-native processes, and artificial intelligence (AI), all in an effort to ensure timely and resilient business use cases and enhanced business applications for a continuous and positive user experience. Are you still not allowed to operate a mainframe without wearing a tie?

That’s just IBM sales for you. :)

  Perhaps they trained Watson to write business copy for them /s

Given the industries willing to pay for them, yes.

> operate a mainframe without wearing a tie It's actually a safety issue. Bowties are preferred because they don't get caught in the tape reels, teletype terminals, and punchcard or paper tape handlers. Only half kidding.

  It's true. When I worked at IBM long ago, the guys (Systems Engineers) who worked with the mainframes (on the "raised floor") told me that they wore only clip-on ties, so that if it did get caught it would just detach.
