Yes, I was in college and it took me a while to realize I needed to actually turn on the news, because all the mainstream websites were wrong.

Oddly enough, neither of my classes were cancelled, despite being only a little over 2 hours down 95 from NYC.

That's a very common problem, it's not a well defined and clearly visible definition.

That seems to be based on the assumption that coal is easily accessible. I'm not sure that's true.

Considering the site we are, treat your effort/time debt as tech debt.

You appear to be past the point where it's beneficial, and should focus on reducing it to improve your life. Granted this is easily stated when I have no real context.

I'm fairly sure he'd have the same response if you asked them "who's a good lion" in the same tone of voice.

*I tried hard to find an animal they wouldn't know. My initial thought of cat was more likely to fail.

That's moving away from the actual horse analogy. If you can tell a guide dog to take you somewhere, you can tell a horse that too.

Granted, a journey to a new location would make this accurate.

Oddly enough, UC Berkley is public education, so it's the federal government and state government. At least technically true.

I recall a coworker being excited several years ago about catching someone lying about their linux experience before their interview. If what they said was true, they'd have to have been working on it during it's first year.

He was then excited after the interview because the individual had been working at transmeta with Linus, and his resume was accurate. He didn't end up working with us, but I wasn't privy to any additional information.

That was an active debate ... 15 years ago

If they're talking about Cobol, it's usually systems originating before the early 90s that haven't been completely rewritten.

J2EE would be late 90s and 2000s.

It's still there at the accounting/backend level. Automated Financial Systems Level 3 and it's replacement Vision are commercial loan systems.

LVL3 is pure cobol. It has been recently deprecated but there are many banks who own the code and are still self hosting it, along with it's IBM green screen support.

Vision is a java front end in front of an updated cobol backend. When your reputation is based on your reliability and long term code stability, at what point do you risk making the conversion, versus training new developers to work on your system.

2/ out of 3 of the last batch of software development interns were hired.

I don't think we had any last summer.

The one individual in our current batch still has another year of school left, but I'm fairly sure they've earned an offer if they want one.

I don't have as much visibility in the IT and security interns, just my department.

Our new oven has an air fryer setting. Haven't messed with it yet, but this is encouraging me to.
