Early in my career (which started in civil engineering) I was working with a man at the very end of his, which started in the 1950s. I was the young tech-focused intern who found a way to use a computer for everything even when printed and sometimes hand-drawn plans were the standard of the day. He asked me once if I knew how to use a slide rule, which I didn't.
"Well, what do you do when the power goes out?", he asked.
"I go home, just like you would.", I said with a smile.
He paused for a moment and nodded, "you know, you're absolutely right".
- fainpul 11mo agoNice story. I guess it can be looked at as some sort of parable. But if I take it literally: I never had a power outage at work, but SAAS downtime happens every year (probably multiple times).
