I have a functioning rotary phone connected to POTS. I do live in the sticks though. Only issue is automated systems that ask me to dial 1 for foo, 2 for bar, etc. But a lot of those now actually also take voice.

You don't really, that is why I consider the pay bump what I call 'grass is not greener' insurance. I'd rather get paid more for the same thing wouldn't you? And I can't imagine it much worse really. But you

I resigned yesterday, and with 20 years experience I guess I'm a senior dev. It was many factors, but management and the amount of process and the banality of the work finally did me in. Maybe management is dysfunctional everywhere, I

Oracle has quirks, yes. Oracle the company is...yes. We all get it. Oracle RDBMS has been around for longer than most of us have been alive and has amazing backwards compatibility. It has features I wish PostgreSQL had and vice versa.

I used to miss packages but I mainly use schemas now to organize. Not the same I know but as good as it gets. I also add https://github.com/okbob/plpgsql_check so that I can find bugs earlier since plpgsql is not com

Similar, I didn't get any anime exposure really in the 70's. My intro to mecha was through Space Giants ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061299/ ) after school on TBS.

I don't know if it is related, but a certain three letter agency we do business with is having an IT freeze from 9/21 to 10/3 which means no changes of any kind to any production system. In over 10 years this is the first I&

You are confusing computer science with software engineering/programming. They are not the same. The CS field does not move at breakneck pace. The core classes taught in CS are the same now as they were then.
