Oh, Come On. Everyone Knows The Best IT Workers Are Mennonites. Amish Are Strictly For Theoretical Physics Work

The Amish dude still knows more than the IT guy at the last job I had. It took him four years to put AS400 in a Window.

(Thanks to Charles Schneider for sending that one along)

  1. Mostly, I wonder what an “elegant” knife fight is. I’ll be exploring this channel for more funnies.

    My neighboring farmers are Hutterites. Take the Amish, and give them big machinery: Hutterite. Is that funnier, or only ironic without the funny?

    I have no idea. But, at least I’ll have a new channel of YT to watch.

  2. The local farmers’ market has a Mennonite (that’s Amish lite) who is the only one there with a cash register. Everyone else uses the cigar box / calculator / paper pad accounting system.

    He powers his cash register with a car battery and inverter. His tech fu is strong.

  3. um, actually the best tech in the company we used to use for IT was plain, which is Amish with cars. And the amish sheet metal shop down the road powers their computer controlled plasma cutters with a hydraulic motor driven generator, with the hydraulic pump driven by a diesel engine. Conversely the Amish foundry a little further down the road has a brass kettle that ordinary gate valves have replaced all of the computer controls and safety interlocks. getting that sucker up to temp can be pretty exciting, especially since it is inside the barn.
