    I just view it as a pointless 50 year old squabble, it’s current name is SQL to me so S-Q-L it is, ig I didn’t have “old timers” to corrupt me during the formative years of my career though so maybe that’s why.

    Regardless, my real beef in this is if someone makes hiring/firing/promotion decisions based on that. Like a fun office debate about it, cool, it’s whatever. Choosing not to hire or promote someone over something so petty is asinine IMO

      Oh I completely, 1 million percent agree, and that kind of bullshit was a huge factor in why I left MSFT and went to work for other places, rofl!

      Way, waaaaay too many coked up MBAs with tiny small dick syndrome, who compensate by developing a god complex and constantly shaming people over not knowing all the latest buzzwords, which they often themselves just literally heard for the first time in their previous meeting.
