       Here are some things which are now industry standards that were not when I started:* Source Control (srsly)* Test-driven Development* Continuous Integration* Monitoring/Observability* Online database schema migration* Distributed Source Control* Infrastructure as Code* "Cloud"* Continuous Delivery* Data Engineering* Backups('kay that last one is a joke, maybe in the next 20 years we'll get that one right.)

       I was here at the dawn of 802.11, so I should mention "Portable Computing" while I am at it.These kids with their Copilots and their Fortnites don't know how good they have it

       @rtyler In the 1980s, IT/CS was driven by hobbyists.Starting in the 1990s, it became the new hot career, and the careerists only cared about what they needed to do to get paid.Consequently, you have all of these "crutches" applied to try to allow mediocre coders to generate production-ready code.It's a heap of bullshit, like Agile.
