    Simple Programmer[^]:

    This defense of our own choices and ideas is core to human nature. It is easy for us to adopt a new idea but we religiously defend the ones we have without needing much evidence to back it up. The problem is we tend to tie up our ideas about things with our identity and even our value as human beings.

      Prove it. I'll also add that OpenVMS is the very best operating system and Windows and all other "personal" operating systems are utter crap for enterprise work. But Windows pays the bills so I use that.

              Sanity is for the weak! I am possessed when I wrote code. (Sure, I may end up as chaos spawn for so much caffeine, tobacco and code use).
