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stack that powers their internal databases has them scrambling to find programmers for a language that is now 40 years out of date and was considered a fossil a long time ago.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).

Episode 103 - So...How Long Is This Thing Gonna Last 🤔🏥
On this episode we dive into just how long we think this pandemic is going to happen by outlining the three most popular scenarios presented in most articles these days, and explaining which one we think is most likely to occur. We also break down how this is going to affect common occurrences like going to bars and other social gatherings moving forward, and how long it will be until major gatherings like festivals and sporting events can put on live shows again.
