That’s actually the area I currently work in, though not banking specifically. We do financial software for small governments. All the software was written in the 80s and 90s and we’re babying it along well into the 2030s in all likelihood. Those old systems require very specific environments which we’re now trying to emulate in the cloud. It’s fairly specific at the end of the day. And because this small government segment is currently undergoing consolidation I know what we see is the norm.

Thankfully I just have to maintain the cloud infrastructure and making it as reliable and secure as possible.

But he reminds me of Jackie Daytona, somehow.

Shhh, you’ll wake it.

In what way is Elon crashing out? He’s spending his days turning the US in the fascist kleptocracy that he and his apartheidist father used to dream about while they were abusing the children working their emerald mines, all the time selling thousands of his wankpanzers to the military at a massive markup, and gathering every citizens bank account details.

Archeologists uncover 3000 year old fossilized computer mouse and think it’s a frog.

Those are all depictions of the same Berkin Bag. Broke archaeologists have been trying to hunt it down for centuries, because finders keepers.
