Making the mainframe relevant in the world of agile development and DevOps
Q&A: Compuware CEO Chris O'Malley on how the company is breathing new life into the mainframe with agile and DevOps.
The guy responsible for this sounds like a terrible person, and the person who wrote this article is no better.

There is nothing inherent in a mainframe that prevents Agile practices nor effective DevOps. Back in 2013 I was involved in a project where the code ran on a Univac, there was a major cultural struggle, but the technology and techniques worked well enough.

What kind of cruel, sadistic bastard are you? Trying to impose antiquated technologies in a modern, Agile world! Everyone knows that if it was invented more than 6 months ago it's already fossilized and obsolete, and not worthy of the Agile way!Filed under: What, you thought the JS framework explosion was just for funsies?

You say you've had your desktop for over a week?
Throw that junk away, man! It's an antique!
Your laptop is a month old? Well that's great,
if you could use a nice, heavy paperweight!

I read the article. It used a lot of words to say, in essence, that a computer is a computer, and that it doesn't matter what size it is, it's still a computer, and that all this Agile and DevOps stuff merely requires a computer.
(No, I don't think that DevOps has any relevance to Engine Control Units, but that's because they are ECUs, not because they are computers.)

Good for you. I made it to the question about Java before closing the tab because of the idiotic word-for-word transcript
