Mine hit me with the “We're spending all this money on you now so you can’t grow up and say we didn’t spend money on you when your were a kid.”

I think the saddest part about this is the phenomenon where people who didn't understand tech were scared of new stuff that was actually really neat and helpful....

...and nowadays they're ridiculously trusting of shiny user-friendly corporate garbage that spies on them and manipulates them.

    Hilariously relevant username, considering I was just going to reply with a "we're too far from swinging in the trees now to handle it".

    Just last week I was re-patching some nasty piece of business logic at a client for a day and remembered the application "Filter Top" from the nineties, where I solved a similar (but slightly simpler) problem on a far inferior less advanced platform in a few minutes with a GUI even.

    Return to monke. I'm with you.
