Episode 104 - Quarantine Lo-Fi Edition 👾😷

Not Rocket Science

In this episode, we are back at the rents' house to get out of NYC while this pandemic is happening. Instead of reviewing how people are losing their jobs left and right and all of the other horribleness we are collectively hearing every day, we decided to dive into how this pandemic is affecting companies that are essential businesses. We review types of problems that can occur even when there is a healthy demand for their products and services and how the federal government's approach to handling the economy is affecting these types of businesses.

We also dive into how the government's neglect towards their tech stack that powers their internal databases has them scrambling to find programmers for a language that is now 40 years out of date and was considered a fossil a long time ago. We highlight how this massive amount of tech debt is slowing down the ability to get your stimulus check and how these kinds of ridiculous circumstances are, in actuality, not that surprising. All that and more on the latest episode (sorry in advance for the poor mic quality).
