I feel pretty grateful for a 20+ year career in information technology that has left me with the basic assumption that all technology sucks and will never work the way I expect it to.

We build these crazy contraptions using fifty different sets of mismatched tools, connect them all together with chewing gum and twine, and then pile billions of bits of junk on top of them. Of course none of it is going to work properly. TBH most of the time I’m surprised any of it even works at all.
