That's old school. I heard of several guys who saved money, retired to Mexico, Central America or the Philippines, built a mansion and married an 18-year-old young thing from the nearby village. Live it large, bang it young.
The I.T. support jobs I have had over the last 11 years were strictly Monday through Friday with absolutely no overtime. If anyone does overtime, they're not being paid hourly and are exempt from overtime pay.
I became a video game tester and a lead tester at Accolade/Infogrames/Atari (same company, different owners, multiple personality disorder) when I was 28-years-old. Most kids entering the business don't believe that video game existed before they were born. I used to freak them out by introducing them to a tester who worked on arcade video games in the 1980's and another tester who worked on pen-and-paper games in the 1970's.
After three years of testing video games and three years of being a lead tester, I went into help desk support at the tender young age of 34. That was 11 years ago. These days I'm doing security remediation by consoling into hurt computers and fixing broken users. Most of my coworkers are in their 50's. The nice thing about info security is that you really need to have 10+ years in I.T. experience. A high hurdle for kids coming out of school and H1B candidates from India. This field is expected to grow in the years to come.
But Swift wasn't released to the public until this year. For everyone else who isn't employed at Apple, HR will write job descriptions that requires five years of experience in a technology that came out six months ago.
Voting should be a civic obligation for everyone in this country. The United States is supposed to be the role model for democracy, but 58 other countries have better voter turnout. Some third-world countries are able to get 90% voters out to the polls. Americans suck as voters.
I figured that out with FreeNAS on an older Dell system. It was always crashing. The minimum hardware requirements for FreeNAS 9.x was more demanding than previous versions. In particular, ZFS required 8GB minimum (or 1GB per terabyte of raw storage) for optimal performance. Rebuilt the system with a different old Dell system that had more memory.
If the Democrats were bots, they would have come out and supported their candidates during the midterm election. They didn't. The Republicans has the largest House majority since 1928 (before the 1929 stock market crash and Great Depression) elected by the lowest turnout since 1942 (World War 2). Go figure.
As a moderate conservative, I never had a problem being a Republican or Democract in Silicon Valley. Then again, I don't go out of my way to alienate people with political and/or religious views. I state my opinons regardless if I get mod down, up or sideways.
The thread was about programs that generated HTML code. Over ten years ago, Dreamweaver and FrontPage produced horrible HTML. As someone else pointed, people don't write HTML anymore because another program generates it for them.
Another OS that has dropped support for 32-bit architecture. This is probably not an issue for most users as 32-bit processors are less common these days. If you have an older machine with a 32-bit processor, you can't slap on the latest and greatest *nix OS.
You have obviously never dealt with designers who couldn't write HTML to get themselves out of a paperbag. Over ten years ago, most web designers were graphic artists who could use either Dreamweaver or FrontPage. Show them trivial HTML, they saw alphabit soup.
If you know how to hand code HTML, you can determined what went wrong with the HTML that another program spits out. As a QA tester at one company in the late 1990's, I wrote many tickets for the website team to fix the HTML that Dreamweaver and FrontPage generated.
Let's not forget that Ronald Reagan was the Tea Partier of his day. The Republican Establishment didn't want him back then. After he won the nomination and won the election, the Republican Establishment became Reganites.
Don't blame the media for Palin self-destructing under the national limelight. The blame belongs with the McCain campaign for plucking her out of obscurity without vetting her, and the Republcian Party for not allowing McCain to pick Sen. Joseph Lieberman as his vice presidential candidate.
I once did a bible study with a middle-aged man while in the college ministry. He believed in angels. His living room had thousands of angel statues of all shapes and sizes. With a half-dozen candles lit, his living room looked like a medieval monastery shrine. Forget about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. They're no match for angels.
A few years later, I would have a roommate who believes that angels were from outer space. That's a UFO niche unto itself.
Ever noticed that most strident, pro-Republican commentators are almost always ACs? I've noticed this in other political comment boards that Republcian commentators are almost always anonymous, as if they're ashamed to associate their real name with the Republican party.

P.S., I'm 45-years-old.
P.P.S., Youth over experience is complete BS.

HR will still demand five years of experience in Swift.

You probably missed the Bill O'Reilly interview as well.

Hand coding your own HTML pages is a lost art these days.
You must have missed the Katie Couric interview that herald Sarah Palin's self-destruction. She wasn't ready for the national stage -- and it showed.
Let's not forget that Ronald Reagan was the Tea Partier of his day. The Republican Establishment didn't want him back then. After he won the nomination and won the election, the Republican Establishment became Reganites.

A Cruz/Palin ticket would make for an entertaining circus.

You misspelled his name. It's Ronald Wilson Reagan (666).
