So I guess the moral here is: #ScottAdams was a thin-skinned, egotistical monster who wrote and badly drew a hateful comic strip called #Dilbert, and all his “humor” punched down, and he used sock puppet accounts to brag about his own genius, and was a racist, and he thought Donald Trump was great...

@ridetheory ah damn, I still have a bunch of Dilberts stuck at the end of my lecture slides, might really be time to swap them out (although the earlier ones absolutely do nail some things about software engineering).
