@wendynather@infosec.exchange My most unreal silicon valley moment - enjoying the best bbq at a hole-in-the-wall, husband and wife team - both older, husband had a rasta hat and dreadlocks to the middle of his back. Somewhere in the conversation (I don't even know how we got there) - he drops a deep technical analysis of why mainframe programming is better positioned for large analytic workloads compared to SQL DBs. The crazy part - the framing and his analysis - spot on. I imagine my bbq smeared mouth was open and in shock. Apparently he is a regular heckler at SQL conventions at Moscone - but settled into a life of grilling ribs. The wife, no less technical, had a knowing look as her husband launched into yet another diatribe (apparently not uncommon)
