In my first IT job out of college over a half-century ago, there are lessons learned that still apply today. The technologies were old, but the lessons are timeless.
Hi Frank ... thank you for writing this up and sharing. So much as changed, but your point is well taken ... there are some fundamentals that are timeless.
FANTASTIC! Thanks for this, Frank. Memories of keystroking punchcards to make my FORTRAN program for engineering stress analysis solutions compile and run. Frantically punching cards and getting a scheduled run completed before 11 PM “lights out” at the mainframe center. Terrific storytelling. Looking forward to the next installment.
