You just sound like you don’t quiet people and are trying to justify it. You don’t need to rock the boat if it’s smooth sailing. Do you want everyone complaining and trying to change things?

We have non-excel financial reports via a web app, but of course the actual software requirements were gathered in an excel file It is not vastly easier to use than Excel, but certainly nice when there’s a web app to find instead of a loose

I'm sure MS has enough issues with backwards compatibility. Can't imagine handling multiple registry implementations on top of it.

Pentesting related to national security or gov work can pay really well with a clearance (and the workload can be really light). I don't know if the private sector does pentesting pay better than engineering pay. I found most of the pe

You simply won’t get (A) in some industries. People love making things like games, not boring CRUD apps driven by people outside of development who also resemble (B). These views are always short-sighted like that.

The more stories I hear about this, the more I'm inclined to be an executive-asleep-at-the-wheel because apparently they get paid a lot, do a terrible job, and nothing happens to them.

Calling these lotteries is actually a big misrepresentation. Lotteries are for astronomical odds. Plus you can do things to change your odds. Instead of waiting to be picked, you could have been proactive and reached out to them for a job.

Having your own password table even feels archaic today. From what I've seen, even simple internal apps are doing SSO with a directory provider (Google, AD/ADB2C, Okta, etc.)
