And argue with me about this all you want; it ultimately just proves to the world that you're either ignorant or suffering psychosis. I didn't just do this stuff in the 90's. I was there for Watson. I talked with IBMers regularly. I was one of the few folks that had a deep understanding of the underlying system and hardware. (I very much am a POWER expert.)
All these supposed 'visionaries'? Just copying Watson, badly, with incompetent and unqualified programmers.

So, uh, apparently this went a bit viral. Hi Fedi! I'm still looking for work if you're hiring a very senior (30+ years) architect/syseng/SRE type who quite literally has worked on every Unix there is, knows scale (40k hosts,) and has 26 years of configuration management. You can probably guess which companies and requirements are automatic disqualifiers.
