I'm a support engineer for dental software. So difficult issues won't get immediate resolutions, and instead development will actually have to fix things because offices will be crying at them for a fix instead of at me.

But the world won't end.

I do SAP development writing ABAP and making forms.

SAP would go bankrupt because their core product is written in an internal language that's ridiculously complicated and takes decades to fully learn.

The businesses would keep using their systems for many years and eventually migrate to better solutions.

So the world definitely won't end for me either.

Sorry, I don't know what SAP or ABAP mean.

I do and it means they get paid large amounts of money and that they can translate a very select list of words from German to English.

[-] nottheengineer@feddit.de 2 points 11 months ago

The "large amounts of money" part only applies when you work at SAP or far enough away from them.

Doesn’t matter. The world doesn’t depend on it.

It would suck for Walldorf’s tax revenue.
