HR forced me to hire a junior systems administrator last week.
He's 23 years old and showed up on day 1 carrying a physical notebook.
He spent his first morning looking at our backend and realized my automation scripts were written in 2008.
He asked me why we're running deprecated code that relies on an unpatched version of Windows 7.
I told him we employ a strategy of chronological obfuscation.
I explained that modern malware is designed to attack modern architecture.
By keeping our infrastructure trapped in the Bush administration, we're immune to zero-day exploits.
You can't hack what you can't interface with.
He looked at me like I was insane and asked about data compliance.
I leaned back in my chair and whispered the phrase "asynchronous legacy tunneling".
He immediately closed his notebook and apologized for questioning my vision.
I spent the rest of the afternoon watching a 4-hour documentary about the Roman Empire at my desk.
Next week I'm going to make him untangle category 5 cables for character development.
@maruf52824981 I think it makes things fairer for students in general track. Maybe first few years Madrasa students will struggle, but eventually they will pick up.
@RudrawXD Bring in Pakistan, India, and Nepal if you want but that actually strengthens the point. Power prices across South Asia depend on subsidies, income and policy design; and Bangladesh is still not the only country under pressure. The boat has problems, but it’s not unique to BD.
@RudrawXD and still: BD pays $0.087/kWh after the “devastating” hike. Philippines? $0.206. Thailand? $0.127. Vietnam? $0.078 - on a grid that doesn’t carry a Tk41,000cr subsidy burden. We’re near the bottom of Asian pricing. The boat isn’t sinking.
@RudrawXD Generation cost is Tk12.91/unit. You pay Tk8.50 max (mid slab). Someone covers that Tk4.41 gap, it’s called a Tk41,000cr annual subsidy. Higher slabs paying more is protecting the poor. The lifeline rate wasn’t touched. This is literally how progressive pricing works.
