These are indeed good examples of things that are merely tools, not fundamental knowledge.

Time-transport me an expert C programmer from the 80s and I'll have them productive in Go in two weeks. It's all very familiar territory.

O send me a mainframe programmer from the 60s and they'll be up to speed on kubernetes in short order. Pushing your workload to a remote cloud (mainframe) won't be exactly be new to them.

Databases have been studied and their properties understood for a very long time.

Sure, the exact details vary a bit and the command line options are different, but that's not significant.

Yeah, that sounds logical. Some of the most popular technologies of this time are just teeny-tiny tools, but some of long obsolete technologies and their attached skills which have no correlation to anything recent is somehow fundamental and has magical properties in your view :D Thanks for the good laugh!

> Databases have been studied and their properties understood for a very long time.

No they haven't. Noone ever considered schemaless databases or column-storage databases or vector databases for half a century after the birth of computing. So that kind of knowledge (relational DBs, etc in the 60s and 80s) meant nothing in light of these new technologies, and required completely different skills and knowledge.

But it's clear you are not familiar with these technologies, so it's a waste of time to engage with you now
