  • Here’s how I approach old and slow:

    1. Older software is mature and battle tested. It’s been around long enough that the developers should know what they’re doing, and have built a strong community for help and support.
    2. Slow is okay when it comes to accuracy. Would I love to back up my gigabytes (peanuts compared to some of you folks out there with data centers in your attics) in seconds? Yes. But more importantly, I’d rather have my data be valid for if I ever need to do any kind of restore. And I’ve been around the block enough times in my career to see many useless backups.






  • 👆 This. In my experience, I’ve seen a lot of developers get upset about “their code” not being used, time wasted, or someone else changing the code after the fact. Who cares? Once you commit that code, it’s no longer your code. It’s the company’s code. Your paycheck will reflect the same amount of money regardless — and if it doesn’t, you may want to find a better employer. 😅
