I'm just hoping it's better than The Force Awakens ... but I'm not putting money on it.

On a side note, I finally watched Suicide Squad last night. I was sorely disappointed.

Damn. I've been trying to persuade Herself it might be good based on the trailers, but she's very resistant. IMDB 6.3 is a pretty good score these days...

It was as if we're all supposed to know the backstory, and the plot was ludicrous.
The worrying part is that they set you up at the end for a sequel. Let's all hope that doesn't happen.

Don't worry, if it turns out some piece of crap isn't worth a sequel, they call the next installment "a reboot".
I always take this as meaning that if I'm supposed to ignore events that took place in the previous incarnation, I should get a refund for it.

This is almost a certainty. For a start Han Solo is still alive (somewhere) and hasn't shot Greebo yet.

I don't think you'll every get it back to the quality viewing pleasure of the original 3. But it is miles better than the last 3 that we shall never name

And what the hell is an aluminum falcon?[^]
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

It's a lot like a Malteser Falcon, but lasts a lot longer when you suck it.

There's a large code base of COBOL being maintained and even new development where I am currently working, and I took the opportunity to talk to one of the COBOL devs yesterday because it turned out they've already done an implementation of something in COBOL that I'll be doing in C# for another project, and I wanted to take the opportunity to learn about any difficulties they had encountered with this particular task. It was well worth the time.
I must say, it was refreshing talking to someone with 30 years of development experience -- we're about the same age, she took the mainframe development path in college whereas I dropped out and futzed around with PET's, C64's, and embedded processors in the early 80's.
But the thing that stood out the most was how she approaches coding with a discipline gained from experience. Disciplines including good code structure, commenting practices, readability, maintainability, etc. Things that transcend the language, and things that I so often have not encountered with cough younger devs.
It was nice.

Yes, but it's especially nice when it's a coworker.

I believe these traits are gained from a persons training, pride in their work and experience, especially after maintaining years of others sh*tty code.
