       | Started my career as an IBM SE for the mainframe in the early
       | 2000s. They were desperate to bring young people into the
       | mainframe world to carry the baton. My peers were all guys with
       | kids my age or well older and most of them carried punch cards
       | around in their breast pocket to take notes. At that time they
       | were still abundant in random IBM supply closets across the
       | midwest.
