- icedchai 1y agoSome organizations force you to use their internal dependency repos because the "IT department" or similar has blessed only certain versions in the name of "security" (or at least security theater.) Inevitably, these versions are out-of-date. Sometimes, they are very, very out of date. "Sorry, I can only install [version from 5 years ago.]" is always great for productivity. I ran into this recently with a third-party. You'd think a 5 year old version would trigger alarm bells...
- noosphr 1y agoI use 30 year old software regularly. Newer doesn't mean working.
- icedchai 1y agoSure. I do a lot of retrocomputing and that's fine. I have OSes from the 80's running in emulators. But when you're developing software, you want the newer stuff. Would you use MySQL 5.0 from 2005? No, you'd be out of your mind.
