Maybe it is just me - but I don't think I ever met anybody who started way back who wasn't somewhat of a tech geek. The ones who jumped on the bandwagon to make money (1990s) less so.

We wrote this blog post back in 2012 that speaks to our experience at the bank.http://ibmsystemsmag.com/ibmi/developer/modernization/perception_attitude/ <http://ibmsystemsmag.com/ibmi/developer/modernization/perception_attitude/> Perception is _everything_.
