Executive summary: "programming was harder when there was less abstraction".

I was hoping for a discussion of some algorithms, but instead I just got a long winded "wow, progress is amazing" rant.

This post has inspired me to start a new blog where I state the obvious and then submit it to every social news site. My first article will be "the sky is blue" except I will explain that in 1000 words or more. With ads.

now that you've given away the summary, i'm not going to read your post. and i was planning to click on lots of ads.
