No. Software gets crapper and crapper. Microservices, distributed nonsense, nothing is elegant any more. It's just stack overflow to manage to get parts to speak to each other for the promise of scaling, that so few companies actually

Not heart attacks, but Scotland is investigating a rise in neonatal deaths, which correlates with the vaccine rollout, yet has decided that it's definitely not the vaccine. Science at it's finest. https://www.heraldscot

I graduated during the dotcom bust, and the best thing I did was taking a temporary job at pretty much minimal wage. As soon as I had some experience on my CV, I got a lot more interviews afterwards. I am in agreement that apprenticeships s
