   @nuintari @dexter I'm actually wishing there was more of this. Modern tech stacks feel like I'm being pranked. Keep thinking I'll show up to a job someday and they'll be like
   
   "Actually we're just having a laugh, nobody actually needs this complexity and twelve 9's uptime except like seven companies on the planet. This was just an elaborate ruse to train an infinitely renewable workforce they can abuse, but you caught on. We're gonna go back to self hosting and just running a simple HA cluster and we'll have scheduled maintenances to roll out our upgrades that we put meaningful thought into"

     @dexter Wow.... I am completely qualified!

     I have written a looooot of CGI Perl on Apache in my day, the vast majority of it spent grumbling about how I wasn't allowed to use PostgreSQL instead.

     It's just funny, I rarely see calls for that skillset anymore.
