The point is that having near or below 0 rates has been a terrible policy for almost everyone, just as increasing them in response to inflation is going to hit most people hard now.
A problem has been kicked down the road for years, it was always going to blow up in our faces.
I think you might be missing parent comment's point. The way I read it they aren't saying that old code is better, just that you used built everything up from scratch generally (or to a much greater extent than nowadays) instead of using whatever framework is in fashion this week
>Your manager should of deflected this sort of stuff
Also keep in mind that there is a good chance the manager might have had OPs back in all this, maybe it's just the managers boss who has unreasonable expectations (maybe due to poor communication from the manager about changing requirements etc).
It's not just farmers. It was done away with in the UK for 3 years back in the late 60s and people hated it.
There are 2 options, either going with summer time permanently which seems the most sensible approach in theory and what they did with the British Summer time experiment. The problem is that although having longer evenings in winter sounds good in theory it means that it's dark until 10am in the depths of winter and roads are icier when people are making their morning commute.
The other option is to keep standard time, but that will mean losing the late evenings in summer and the sun rising even earlier which would be a loss.
I don't see what the big issue people have with it is. It makes perfect sense for northern/southern latitudes and essentially all my clocks adjust themselves automatically.

Some people hated it, mostly Scots. In the south of England it was popular (I was there).
Now I live in Norway rather further north than most of the UK and guess what we really don't find it difficult to go to work in the dark and nor do children find it hard to get safely to school (that last was the Scottish argument against permanent summer time).
As soon as you shift a big part of society, like kids going to school, much of the rest of society needs to shift to stay in sync. Congrats. You’ve just reimplemented a time shift but more chaotically.
I used to be in camp DST year round. Now I don’t really care because I mostly get up when I want which varies from day to day.
Is it a big part of society though? I would have though children walking to school is fairly independent to the rest of society that needed time-milestones.
Would we assume parents are walking their children to school, hence need to start work later? If that's the case, why does it matter how dark it is?
Most parents of young children are at least seeing them onto school busses if not dropping them off at school themselves themselves. Childcare has to similarly be synced up.
Personally I don’t care much these days but many do.
"It won't last brothers and sisters are natural enemies.
Like English men and Scots or Welshmen and Scots or Japanese and Scots or Scots and other Scots. Darn Scots they ruined Scotland."
We do have digital certs in Europe (as mentioned in other comments). I don't know why the article mentions Europe, the cards aren't used to check vaccination here.
That's something I like about array languages too, and Lisp is similar from what I know of it. Essentially defining a DSL for the problem and then working with it.
