There is none. The industry is being flooded with DS and "AI" majors (and other generally non-technical people) that have zero historical context on storage and database systems - and so everything needs to be reinvented (but in P

I think you need to be told this in a very direct manner, so I'll take a stab at it: this is a country where the vast majority of the population can't shit down anything resembling a toilet, let alone wash their hands after they a
