I don't understand how this is news; there are ways to completely get rid of COBOL in a bug-for-bug compatible fashion, if needed. If there would be real demand, the salaries would be higher. The idea that some system is dependent on a particular person is completely false. Additionally, whoever "managed" that system...

This should be higher. Lots of the apparent switchover is from sites who still use Apache to do the heavy lifting. Which is fine.

I got into the habit of always writing WHERE first, even if the WHERE is empty. So I'll literally type something like `UPDATE WHERE` first and then go back to select tables and set columns and so on. If I forget to fill my where in then I just get a syntax error.

Fpm means youre pushing the complexity to managing your worker threads. Common setup is nginx as a reverse proxy / SSL termination and apache to handle the application worker threads. Probably why the numbers are skewed.

That's slightly before my time, but I dealt with Oracle 7 systems which should have come out in the early 90s. And I learned how to kill sessions so I could drop databases. I seem to remember this on db2 also. So I think it was true back then too. Not 100% but pretty sure.

We hired a girl, who was given a Dropbox access and instructed that "you should not delete common files". On the second day of work she cleaned the largest directory saying "it used too much space, and I deleted it only from my computer". Fun fact was that Mac OS does not allow you to select multiple files and restore ...

It's not the simple since there's competition.
