@Lensflare Now that you're saying it... The source of this amusement is that we also have some in-house Python tools to manage our infrastructure. And we use fanstatic to deploy JavaScript source files ;-)

@electrineer I'll give learning Rust while working a shot...
what people think when I say I program in COBOL..
Usual legacy development flow (https://turnoff.us/geek/...)
I was originally employed as a Full Stack Python Developer. But this year so far, I only did operations. Now I also got a project to host the legacy Python 2.7 Plone/Zope applications of another company entirely on our infrastructure. This means, that I'll do hardly anything else from now on, i.e. no programming. It was already decided that we'll do the project, and it landed on my desk when everything was fixed.
So I'll quit my job to build my own company with some friends, but I can only leave after a two month notice period. So I have to do the project anyway, for which I feel absolutely zero motivation.
I wanted to become a good programmer, but in my last two jobs I just was a mediocre Ops guy. This is because most other programmers would make even worse Ops guys then me.
