I would like to reply to your sig.

It took humans thousands of years to build houses capable of withstanding natural catastrophes.

Software's been around, what, ~100 years (200 if you go back to the Jacquard Loom c. 1804).

We're dumb, and only learn from experience. Gibe us a few thousand more years. :)

Well said. One missed item, that hard-fought for 40 hour work week is now considered lazy.

I work in IT, not programming --just the back-end stuff, and I have been shamed (not ashamed) for considering anything less than 60+ hours per week --not including weekends-- to be idiotic. They each looked at me and said, "You're in IT". Like that was supposed to say it all.

I'm not working anything more than I absolutely have to to keep my job, and keep my family fed. If I were hourly, it might be a different story.
