But once Unisys and RCA stopped producing hardware, telephony became an uninteresting industry, Western Electric devolved, Commodore packed up shop, and half my CS friends moved to California, what real Computer Science was being done in the Philadelphia area?
I should have moved with them, if I wanted to stay in the industry. But it looked like Sysadmin was a pretty good bet, followed by being first into the Internets and whatnot. Now everything is commodity except the huge-ass corporations, when "enterprise-class" means they are still spending million$ on hardware for one reason or another.
I cain't work in a corporation I just cain't
Call it excuses, but those fuckers and I, we never got along
So that's why I went off the grid and tried to forge a different life story for myself, but that sorta hasn't really worked out, and I blame myself but uh I also found out that doing a lot of blaming myself was super-unproductive
Man I like it when a thread can be partly about me
