If I ever find that engineer that told the users that the way computers worked could be changed I’d kill him. He had it coming. He probably told those proto-users also that it would be complicated etc etc. But he had already lost them. All they remember is that they can change their mind. The how and why they don’t care about. “you can make that work, right”. No more planning. No more thought. Just charge ahead wherever your mind and dreams might guide you.
All goes to hell, since nobody thought about anything? No big deal. Can be changed. It’s easy, right?
Next profession I choose involves a chisel, a hammer and preferably rocks. Also handy to have something to throw on the floor at all times.
