There are _still_ unix admin gurus from the 70's and 80's out there. If you go to the deepest pits of the most obscure mainframe server rooms out there, and move through the jungle of hanging cables and server racks and computer cabinets... you'll find them there, surrounded by green and yellow glowing dumb terminals all over, a dozen old crusty keyboards (no mouse in sight), and a beard that looks like it has grown to be part of the surrounding cable jungle, still maintaining the top level domain networks and the servers that nobody knows even exist anymore but without which the entirety of the internet would collapse because no data would move between countries.

Plot twist: This interview takes place inside Kurt's head.

Senior engineers are those who have finished many industrial projects end-to-end. Damn, so much to learn from them.
