@Purple so yeah, you are not alone.
I used to think my (now previous) employer mostly had a staff that actually somewhat cared about the craft. I am not so sure anymore.
On the contrary, I more and more get questioned on or have to justify my decision to avoid these tools wherever I can (sure, being able to do so is a privilege, depending on current pressure at wherever one works to feed and house themselves).

I get that the _craft_ changes over time — I had colleagues who grew up on assembler and their C was sweet — but I’m pretty bewildered by how bad stuff is and why do the _customers_ accept it? The customers, who give companies the _money_? Then I deal with a hilarious-not string of systemic errors from, oh, my cable company ‘s billing system. The only cable provider I have, and they’re trying to persuade regulators to let them increase their monopoly. @crypticcelery @Purple
