      You gotta wonder why their user interface for “turn on park” was so arcane

      Well, running it on UNIX made sense back then just like it does now, but the only other person THEN who would have understood UNIX was eaten. It actually made sense in 93

      That it was running Unix made total sense. That's we used in high school when I took c++ classes in the late 90s What made it arcane is that their "unix" inexplicably, suddenly had a weird 3D interface just for basic-ass functions instead of the command prompt Nedry used

      Irix perchance? It was weird. 20 years ago I had a job or we had a mix of operating systems, including a few Unix flavors, mostlyHP-UX, Solaris and Tru64. The Chemistry department had an SGI running Irix and sometimes needed our help with it.

      Replying to @AmericasSweeth8 @BootlegGirl @mssilverstein

      Yeah, but nobody with any sense would build a clunky 3D interface that - on top of just being 3D shapes on a 2D plane - was essentially just a folder hierarchy It's like if the Windows Control Panel made you navigate a Doom level to set up your printer

      I think the conclusion has to be that Nedry set up all these weird, dumb systems because he's an idiot and a weirdo who everyone hated, and nobody noticed for some reason.

      For those of us who were in at least the right sections of IT back in the '90s and early 2000s: we knew a Nedry. They were convinced that they were spectacularly good and whatever scheme they came up with was somehow better. Often they had been right on occasion in the past.

      Oh yeah, I definitely believe people like him existed all around. It just seems like he's not the guy you hire to run the systems at Jurassic Park.

      Hammond was trying to cheap out on personnel (even as they "spared no expense" on technological toys) both because they were overstretched on budget and he was terrified of security leaks

      True, but that makes Nedry a worse hire; he's really clearly untrustworthy and unreliable. Maybe you just have to imagine that Wayne Knight oversold it a little bit.

      Hammond as portrayed in the book is a toxic narcissistic idiot POS you see all over the place in tech startups In the movie he's a nice guy but still a daydreaming narcissistic idiot who knows nothing about business

          Didn't he start out in the circus, with a miniature elephant or whatever? It's a weird characterization, because there seems to be a really big gap there where he got rich.

          He's not personally that rich, he just convinced a lot of VC guys to buy into his wild fantasies
