15 years ago, i had a blonde microphone hair and could not have cared less about computing.
Now i'm bald and care
How i envy you forum behemoths, being there from the start.
Where did it all go wrong....
Well i'll tell you (i do love philosophical discussions)
It went wrong when marketing become blunt lying.
When sales became unrealistic.
When folks started studying something cause of hype not of interest/talent.
Above cause dramatic quality drop, due to hyperproduction of code and components.
Everything needs to be done now - less error handling, run faster - security often comes last (spectre, meltdown, bad coding practice).
Just reading the press :
BA lost 400k of user credentials due to hacking
Airports unable to check in passengers due to software bugs
BSOD on aircraft carriers
21st Gatwick airport problems :

I mean, does it get any more mission critical then that

4. What is on Your Mind?
Dear All,
There was a problem in the data center data, which caused the server to be unreachable for about an hour.

Still waiting for final word on what happened.
