Rules are good and all but suppressing any and all dissenting voices on the basis of dissent alone is just creating echo chambers which leads to people who can't or won't think critically.

There seems to be a trend of new (old) developers who find that strong typing is nothing more than a nuisance.

History repeating itself in the IT world. I don't wanna be around to support the systems that inherit these guys.

They don't make docs like they used to. For what it's worth, those "...for Dummies" books were never going to make anyone an expert on anything, but every one of them I've ever read was the most densely packed set of comprehensible information on the subject available at the time.

100+ million years qualifies as right in the middle of "for long" in my book. The fact that an asteroid or comet of biblical proportions wiped them out has nothing to do with evolutionary effectiveness. Most of the animals that did survive either A) lived in water or B) lived underground.

I'd like to think we're above some ridiculous "Cruelty to AI" sentiment as a species, but then I rewatch "Measure of a Man" and begin to loosely question the ridiculousness of said notion.

He says, typing from a computer for which the underlying concepts were formulated long before he was born and are only now coming to fruition long after the inventors have passed.

Science and technology are never driven by an "only if I see the benefit" mentality. Progress is a gift to all mankind.

The mice are running the litterbox over there, indeed.
