AI's have the ability to make millions of mistakes per second.
I won't even code that many instructions in my life

Easy mistake, since the F5 key is right next to the Del key ... oh wait. 
Been there and done that, though. The feeling when you just realize you've just deleted the whole company's timecard entries? Like jumping out of an airplane. Thank goodness for frequent (15-minute intervals) log backups.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Vi was as much fun - no universal CTRL+F4 for us early adopters!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

vim is still my most used editor.

Please! Why did you remind me on that !

Because the Youth Of Today need to be reminded just how good they have it! 
That and to remind everybody of what happens when you let developers design user interfaces...
(Though to be fair, most of Unix was much the same in those days, and DOS wasn't far behind: remember EDLIN?)

I remember vi and edlin too.
There was one in RSTS but I forget it's name.
I'm glad they're largely gone.

Line mode EDT was what we were taught on RSTS, but them what knew used TECO in screen mode.
On OpenVMS I use EDT in screen mode.
|
|
|
|
|
I remember using TECO and EDT. TECO primarily under RT-11 and RSX-11 on PDP-11's of one sort or another, and EDT on VAXen.

I had to program with VI and VIM so i know the pain.

Hard reboot. Psh. I just burn my house down whenever I get stuck in VIM.
|
|
|
|
|
OpenVMS has what it calls Text Processing Units, and several text editors derive from them. Whenever I accidently run LSE (Language Sensitive Editor) rather than EDT, I generally have to Ctrl-C to get back out.

Nano isn't so bad....course it's just for the basics, but that pretty accurately describes how linux workflows are supposed to go.

Kabaam! 2 days of complete screw up costing god knows how many millions in compensation.
Offshoring, it is not worth it. The quality goes through the floor.

You know that, I know that.
But the people who make the decision and evaluate the tenders are accountants. People who know the cost of everything, and the value of nothing.

It is penny pinching.
I think it was Leggo who recently reshored the production of platics due to the lower pound making the financial difference less interesting, allied to the far higher quality achieved.
Quality is a big part of any product, and the race to the bottom results in quite frankly, sh*t.

And some things you can't buy: a good reputation for example.
You can throw it away very easily though.

Yes! A good reputation is like virginity. You lose it once and that's it!

BA haven't had a good reputation for a long while - a strong brand name but it terms of quality and service I don't know anyone that would fly with them by choice, last time I did was 13-14 years ago.
|
|
|
|

The problem with companies like BA who think it's a great idea to go offshore is not so much the quality they get off-shore, but the quality of their management. Start firing managers top down!
