There you go. It's all relative.

There's also new tech coming out all the time and you've been around long enough, 30 plus years in the business to know that not all that new tech is going to be additive or useful or last.

Specifically Perl.

Yeah, we're certainly in a career where you can't just learn everything you need to know at university and be done. I mean, if you're not interested in change and adaptation and learning new technologies, this isn't really the space for you. You're not going to last.

And COBOL on a mainframe.

So how many languages have you invested in seriously?

So how do you see promising technology coming?

I do see it happening as a super high level, almost no code. If you look at like form builders, you know, which we give to people and they can put in their conditionals and they can say, you know, give me a zip code widget and put it on the screen. But you know, that that's like, Not ad hoc, what's it called? When it's just like specific use for that one particular... A spoke.

um so uh yeah no it's actually as a layer as a layer it's it is probably an interesting thing to do yeah well i mean just if you've got that many dependencies it's literally impossible to investigate your own dependency tree it's better than nothing it's one of those like what do you got to lose besides maybe a few cents well what else anything else we have you have on your mind that we haven't talked about yet

yeah i don't think that's a really good point i think we do tend to overvalue social proof you know what everybody else is doing and undervalue our own ability to dig in and make a decision based on yeah one of the things i stressed in my talk also on on selecting these technologies you can use your co-workers or your the people that work with you on the project and just tell people look i'm going to present on this new thing
