        Bit of a wash, tbh: I like that the “but simplicity!” computer touchers now write their trash code in a memory-safe language; it sure reduces the amount of extremely preventable issues by introducing some other extremely preventable issues.

          circa '06 my then-boss wanted me to “implement sawzall for mailserver logs”

            I should also note that this place was xen on gentoo on refurb p3s. it involved adventures with gluster and nfsv3 and almost-all-the-docs-were-still-russian nginx imap/pop proxies and… fun times

            (I did learn a fair deal there. foremost among what I learned was how willing someone would be to pay me dogshit money if they could get away with it)
