There is no i in "career path"...

I was informed this week of our company's intention to re-platform our corporate systems around a Windows-server based ERP system. That means we're moving away from IBM i (iSeries, AS/400, or just plain '400 to us).

I have mixed feelings about this. The bad is that it hastens the horizon of my career phase that was based around being an iSeries developer. The good is that it takes me out of a "comfort zone", and provides the opportunity to work productively in newer technologies. It also presents a welcome learning curve.

Welcome again to the new normal. How do you like the view?
