phf: 􏿽http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2023-02-24#1024277 << it's an independent contractor joke. see a pension fund is not like another investment fund, it combines the worst aspects of money, unions and government. so they already have a piss poor solution in java/.net and they need to augm
phf: 􏿽ent it and they don't know what they are doing anyway. that's when you, bright eyed bushy tailed open source lisp activist come in to add another unmaintainable shit component to their stack. allegro lisp is not part of the equation

asciilifeform saw this alive, but not served enuff time to confidently generalize, as phf above ( assumed 'somewhere else, far away? maybe 'jane street' ? sanity..?' )
asciilifeform: what asciilifeform saw, ftr, is that 'the broomstick fires ~once~', i.e. some early hire gets to 'introduce an allegrocache' and then pile o'shit inevitably built on top and eventually turns into the familiar 'piss solution that then augmented 4evah'
dulapbot: (trilema) 2015-07-19 asciilifeform: which is to say, in this case, whether he has already had the flash of realization that the shit he is working with sucks because of 'anthropic principle' - that is, if it weren't a crock of shit, he would not have his job...
dulapbot: (agriculturalsupremacy) 2020-02-27 asciilifeform: black holes that can absorb ~infinite effort and still suck -- sell. 'job-creating technology'(tm)(r).
asciilifeform: i.e. where early hires in fact set up an 'allegrocache' etc ~and~ injuncoaders ~not~ later transformed system into the usual pile of shit -- yer unlikely to ever walk into the door to see this marvel.
