  • I was going to say there's already this plus there are already plenty of consulting group for legacy systems. They charge a fuckton because they're often the only ones left who know what to do. I ran into a retired professional Computer Engineer who had to be brought overseas out of retirement into top secret government facilities because he was one of only people left that could handle the repair. He had a lot to say about the consequences of "replaceable computers" and how no one wants to fix hardware anymore.

    As time takes more of these engineers from us the house of cards that is computer technology will become more wobbly. The only things that will be maintained are the things that make the capitalists the most money - everything else will be forgotten.
