That was not a comment directed at jacobr. It was a statement about code.

There's stupid code all over the place. Twenty years ago, you had to know networking, hardware, relational databases, and programming to get anything done. Nobody did QA testing, AB testing, or even had a development environment seperate from production.

We're slowly growing up and realizing our mistakes. If we can't call our own code stupid, then we've achieved a level in our political correctness culture that ... well, that's just plain impressive.

If anyone felt personally attacked, I certainly did not mean for it to come across that way. I am in a bit of a mood tonight...
