We do this to ourselves first thing every day even though it’s been shown in studies that the start of the day is when you’re at your most productive.
Used to drag the zip file into the network drive, unpack it into the www folder (IIS restart triggered by a chance to the web.config file), and then used Beyond Compare to sync the changes across to the other server.
Oracle has always been the Mafia Family of tech companies. Once you’re in, you’re in for life.
Whenever we say some work is going to be difficult and time consuming now, management reflexively ask if we can fix it with AI. It’s like an excitable little kid getting a bicycle for their birthday and wanting to do everything on their bicycle now, including eating, sleeping and homework.

Latest Nvidia co-processor can perform 60 million curly brace instructions a second.
Often the only way to progress is to take a role where you spend hours each day edging middle management.
Pretty sure microservice architecture was invented by enterprise architects as a way to justify their existence, and by dev teams in general to explain why adding new features now takes so long (we have adopted best practice!).
