I once left a 30-person company for one person.
The person was part of my team and he was so toxic I didn't want to spend another day with that a**hole.
Another person left a few months later for the same reason.
I've worked at another company like that, although it was a lot smaller with only seven people, but it was quite doable to avoid the toxic person.
I can imagine your job has some cool challenges and it's probably a good place to work.
Always a bummer when one or two guys ruin the atmosphere.
Good luck with those guys, maybe send out a couple more frustrated emails? You have my blessing

The way I see it is that I retire in 3 years, an I have no doubt I can return their fire for that long.

This is why I want to be just like JSOP when I grow up.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Did you move to CloudOne? There is a push to move our currently local-hosted client/server (WinForms) application to CloudOne on both NIPRNET and SIPRNET. I keep saying it's going to be a "shitstorm" as well since I, as the lead dev, have the same sysadmin rights as you had on our production data (and use it all the time). With everything CloudOne-related having to go thru port 443 apparently, a lot of what we've done for 15+ years is going to go away. You may be a perfect case study for me...

NIPR is cloud2, and SIPR is cloud1. We haven't even gotten to the SIPR side yet.
We have to RDP to a jump box, and then RDP from tehere to our dev boxes. we can do anything we want on the dev db server, but for test,staging, and prod, we get nothing. It's very locked down.

Brings back fond memories of these showing up and only having to use DECwriters for hard copies.

I need to replace my VT220...

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

It went "pop" a few years ago.

I remember getting a VT300 something or another and messing with their arcane pixel-level graphics. Even a VAX could make fractals and draw them but it was rather slow, even with a 19.2K link, and it brought the machine to its knees. I had to wait for after-hours. That was a 1980s generation VAX, 750 I think.

And here I am, going for 38.4k on a 45 year old processor on a breadboard - in software. It does not have a UART.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

As long as it stays in VT100 and they don't go for the T1000 ...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Very cool. My claim to fame back in college was that I pounded the keys so hard, I actually broke the springs on a VT100 space bar.

This much I can say: their preferred music genre is Ragnarök.
