oh crap. i started this stupid rat race in 1968 and i've programmed
in every language you've heard of and a LOT you haven't. i take pride
in being a true "hacker", pushing into all the corners of the OS
and/or the database and pushing thing to run with more elgance and
speed. and most HR people won't even look at my 20 years of
development/dba experience with Oracle because i don't have any of
those checkboxes.
this shits and i'm pissed as hell but i have only two skill sets and
this is the only one i can use in "polite" society.
so i'm stuck, dpressed and bored.
