Junior devs don’t know Jenny.
It's true. Who's Jenny, for the zoomers in the chat?
It was a very popular song in the 80s. Jenny’s phone number was 867-5309.

If you’re ever at a store and need a frequent shopper card, this number with your local area code is usually registered.
Interesting how Wikipedia handles slashes in the title.
Good to know! Although I have to wonder if that's true for programs more recently set up as well. That was >40 years ago.
I suspect most reasonably populated areas it works.
