Nice little rant.

Reminds me of the president of a software house that wrote inventory software for large commercial warehouses. One of his customers required "Box ID", an essential capability that not only tells you how many we own, but exactly which boxes they are in. Everyone has it today.

These people attempted to satisfy this customer, but after a year and nothing to ship (it's not that hard!), they backed out and cried, "We'll never do Box ID again!"

I wonder what that guy is doing today.

And I wonder what OP will be doing tomorrow.

OP will be sleeping in, eating at the pub nextdoor, looking at Table Mountain on the way back home and playing Dave the Diver in the afternoon.
