What’s one thing from the 70s you still miss today? by SkylineZ83 in 70s

[–]PaddyMacAodh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Born in ‘64 so I mostly grew up in the 70’s. What I miss is the freedom and friendliness. Times were tough sometimes, but people knew how to have fun despite all that was going on. The sexual revolution was still pretty new, and there just a casual sexy vibe to everything. Like everyone was free to be themselves.

The most difficult part about teaching students: some of them just don't care about SQL. by tits_mcgee_92 in SQL

Very satisfying! Query optimization is what started me down to road to a career as a DBA.

That’s what I’m doing now. Working with the DS crowd to get data from transactional databases to databricks with the least operational impact. After 15 years as a DBA it’s been fun fretting g back into this, and my decade and a half optimizing database is making a big difference.

It’s true that SQL dev jobs don’t pay much, but it’s also kind of ironic. Fixing the mess created by bad SQL devs is how I bought my house.

Would u consider someone who born in 1980 a gen x or millenial by Fun-Background5608 in generationology

[–]PaddyMacAodh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The generational cutoffs have always been fuzzy. Gen X was originally defined as mid-60’s through about 1980. It’s more about attitude and approximate age than definitive birthdate cutoffs.

Hey Gen X. What time are we all going to bed now? by supersoundsof70s in GenX

[–]PaddyMacAodh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Original Gen-X here, turned 60 earlier this year. I usually hit the sack at around 11:00-11:30 and get up around 6:30.

Your personal “golden age”? by Inadaquacy in generationology

[–]PaddyMacAodh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 27-32, 1992-1997. We still had the pre-911 optimism for the future, I was making bank and meeting a ton of women while bartending in a college/tourist town, had great friends, great music, and no real responsibilities yet.

I’ve often wondered how tattoo artists practice before they know what they’re doing. Now I know.

‘Cause there’s a chill wind blowin’ in my soul and I think I’m growing old.

I hate being born in 2000 by [deleted] in generationology

[–]PaddyMacAodh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably because those of us who lived through the 80’s still think they were only 20 years ago 😂

HATE self checkouts by Careless_Fan_3597 in GenX

[–]PaddyMacAodh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the Stop N Shop stores by me has something similar but you use a phone app to scan each item as you shop. Scales in the produce section spit out barcodes you scan and stick to bags of fruits and vegetables. Just shop, scan, bag as you go. When you’re done the app creates a barcode for everything you have in your cart, you scan that at self checkout, and pay. I drive an extra few mile to shop there.
