    They do now have containerized notebookd and an on demand cluster. So that’s something we had 10 years ago.

    Containers violate iso27002. The pros know that chasing the sparkle is a bad idea.

    spend your whole career in one place, from university to retirement. Frankly, that’s a horrible idea in the 21st century. You need to bring in people with expertise

    No. You train your staff because you value them – you don’t ditch experience. You’ll discover the truth of this eventually.

      Also, how do containers violate iso27002? Not familiar with it.

      And when I said containers, what I mean is the ability to spin up an environment on-demand with specified resources and a notebook environment.

      I really want to agree with you.

      No. You train your staff because you value them – you don’t ditch experience. You’ll discover the truth of this eventually.

      I wish this was common sentiment. The modern company only values you on the way in or the way out. Otherwise you don’t have any leverage.

      I’ve always believed in the idea of hiring either experienced technical leaders you want to keep around and who will mentor, and junior staff who can be mentored into roles where they’ll be happy+productive for the long term.

      Around 2021 I stopped being a manager and companies stopped doing this.

      But this does come back to my point: Stat Can needs fresh blood to bring in new ideas. I don’t think they have those modern technical leaders the way they should, and they’re still stuck on legacy tools that make it impossible to pull in private sector veterans.
