  • Being a self taught programmer (6502 assembly on a vic-20) All my first few jobs were basically here are the manual you’re the new (banyan vines,netware,sunos,oracle, sql server etc) expert.

    My son got a infosys degree and all his jobs required additional certs. Helpng him navigate that was mind numbing

    What i will say. Develop your network full stop. I got every single good fit job by references. All my shit jobs were headhunters or cold applications.

    As far as tech goes. Everything is so nuanced and dependant today i feel it make everything overly complicated and harder to baseline and run. Let alone debugging.

    I am sooo glad i just retired (early) and dont have the need to delve into current tech for anything now besides hobby stuff.
