we have a client who wants us to integrate one of our solutions into their epic system because even though our solution suits a core need for provider networks, epic does not do it.

Luigi Thirty posted:FPGAs are cool but sadly out of my price range unless they got super cheap and I didn't know about it there exist dev boards that are not hideously expensive but yeah they're generally not cheap. lower-end stuff can be had pretty reasonably like this eval kit (http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/AGLN-NANO-KIT/1100-1136-ND/2745083) comes with a p solid low power fpga, programmer, and ide license for ~120 if you wish to be more baller a http://www.zedboard.org/product/zedboard is very baller because it is a pair of cortex-a9s and a bigass kintex-7 fabric. 400 dollars tho - cheap for an fpga board, horrible for a hobbyist. e: actually a http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?NavPath=2,400,1198&Prod=ZYBO is probably peak dollar:baller esp if you can pass yourself off as academic

This is frequently, though certainly not always, a sign that you're passing stupid requirements to the developers. It is frequently unavoidable, I'm sure it's not your fault but please understand, you are why we drink.

Bloody posted:especially the for old people bit, nobody knows cobol any more cobol is not something you casually pick up for the sake of current job skills. so you have people who learn it in university or as a trainee at their first job. hypothesis: all cobol devs are either fresh grads or ancient greybeards, with almost nothing in between. (at least i personally never met a cobol user who wasn't obviously part of a bi-modal distribution)
