Rubbish - Old IT Grey suits out!

When will these Old IT Grey suits getting fat on their pensions realise that Mainframe never died out , it just got turned into a buzzword called "Cloud".

As a young programmer, I can really tell that El Reg is populated by an ageing demographic of foosty old IT professionals who have long since traded in their development skills for pseudo architecture jobs where they are so abstracted from the real world of IT, they can only make a connection by sounding off the buzzwords you find on this site's articles and white papers.

The principles of IT are constant, however they keep renaming and re branding those principles every five years to sound like they are fashionable e.g.

Mainframe --> Cloud

Schema-less Data --> Big Data

Usability --> Happiness

Death to the Architects and managers, vive le Developers.
