Скачать или смотреть The OCC Just Gave U.S. Bank, Truist, and PNC a $700 Billion Reason to Fire Their DBAs (ep. 515)

On December 23, 2025, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) dropped a regulatory bombshell. They are proposing to move the "Heightened Standards" threshold from $50 billion to $700 billion.

This isn't just a boring rule change—it’s a career-killer for the old-school, manual Database Administrator. To understand why, look no further than U.S. Bank, Truist, and PNC. These institutions have spent years under the "extreme prescriptiveness" of 12 CFR 30 Appendix D. Now, they are being set free to innovate, automate, and replace legacy processes with high-level engineering.

In this episode, I break down:

Why U.S. Bank ($695B) is the "Edge of Freedom" case study.

How Truist ($548B) and PNC ($561B) just got their "License to Automate."

The shift from "Process Audits" to "Outcome Engineering."

Career Advice: Why you need to move from DBA to Database Reliability Engineer (DRE) immediately.
