It makes it easier for the Russian Federation malefactors (and other governments, including our own,) to hack.

Sorry, I've been working too long as a network techie, so for me a Catalyst is a Cisco Catalyst switch. Old sh*t, and probably not relevant to your question...
And by the way, why aren't *technical* questions banned in the Lounge as well as *coding* questions. Or is it? Long time since I read the rules, sorry...

Greed, greed, and greed.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

The thread below about programming books got me thinking about how much I still love to code even though I don't do as much as I used to at work (busy herding cats people) but still play with the new stuff in my own time.
However, if I know I have some coding to do at work, I still get excited and can't wait to start. And that's after nearly thirty years of doing the job.
Do you still love your job or are you getting jaded? I think JSOP is given his earlier post!

They hired me as a programmer to write code, and now I'm nothing but a script monkey. And that's after 35 years of coding.

It's probably because you complain a lot.

I only complain when there appears to be human-induced persistence with regards to screw ups.

Oh I know, I do the same thing too. Even still, doesn't mean people still like it. Being right doesn't always mean having friends. And we all make mistakes.

Still love it.
If you don't love what you do, you are in the wrong job. You spend 1/3rd of your life asleep. You spend 1/3 at work (or more, if the company can get you to), you spend much of the rest getting to and from work (and generally paying a small fortune for the privilege). If you aren't loving it ...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I used to lease office space a 15 minute drive from home, couldn't stand it. Going out into the cold in the winter, wasting 30 minutes of my evening driving to and from the office if a client had an emergency or a server was having issues, having to put on clothes on days that I didn't need to see anyone...it was all very annoying and inefficient. Did that for 3 years until I found the perfect live/work setup for me and the business...now I roll out of bed, put on a robe, walk 20 ft to the front office and usually spend the rest of my day like that. Awesome.
