<p>Oh hon, I am your Irish people transported across a sea. In this part of my family, “happily” by personal decision, as opposed to the other half that wound up in Australia. The sun and I have made our peace.<p>But I’ll happily burn my skin red to protest racist shits. And some of them open with this old trope. Apparently my response is almost as old a trope. But that’s not what Boudicca told us when we fought the Romans.</p>

<p>Absolutely. And run faster, cheaper and safer.<p>Just as long as you still have all the documentation and the spec was done right and updated as things changed over the whole lifetime of the system up to now. And a good test harness. And industry-specific knowledge.</p>

One of the features is that everything gets committed at change time (kind of) which may or may not be helpful to you here.</p>

I don’t really want to live in a world where we dunk on anyone for not considering the ramifications of where they build a school lest the kids get murdered.<p>Here’s hoping your house is built on a former set of red and white concentric circles.</p>
