I’ve always thought this method was hilarious, but it’s a very specific type of work that requires it. There’s not much automation to be done since it’s different every time. I also had a previous job where some days you’d have to count product in boxes all day long, and hand write the numbers (this was about 3 years ago).
What outdated things at your work do you find amusing?
Not sure if it’s outdated, but in a time where everyone seem to be running nginx combined with a language that sounds like the name of a Pokémon, I’m over here writing stuff in mod_perl for apache.
On that note, my LAMP probably means something different than your LAMP: Linux, apache, mod_perl, postgresql.
