@augustus Actually the line 'Band of Brothers' shows he supports Silicon Valley brogrammer culture which is why women don't get paid in tech jobs and are reduced to giving twinks fashion tips on YouTube
@technowix Yep, take nothing for granted. It could all be gone in a week. I remember the fuel crisis in England in 2000, caused by striking tanker drivers. It's quite chilling to realise how close society is to total breakdown. People turn on each other in a heartbeat.
@technowix That was a fascinating time. Every talking head and analytical house out there thought the iPhone would be complete bollocks. You can never quite tell what's around the corner.
@moonman @maxmustermann I'm sure it happens. The problem we had was the opposite, everybody wanted the big $ startup jobs and sysadmin and dba jobs were seen as prosaic, but that's what you get in a town full of CS people.
@maxmustermann There is an interesting flipside to this. A place I worked at needed at DBA recently. We could not find an American one, not for a whole year. It appears that nobody is interested in specialised tech qualifications, so we had to look at H1B.
It's a story that's repeated by a few departments. The pay's good, too.
