I'm afraid I had to edit the title, and I pass on this link with a  language warning, because some people have not yet learned that such language simply alienates a large percentage of their readers. If you can get past the casual swearing that makes the writer sound like an entitled juvenile, there's a good point in there. "Just put the spreadsheet down and we can work with databases. Do you remember databases, and possibly happiness?" Actually, don't bother reading the article. That short quote is essentially the whole message. Though the article is a look into the mindset of a certain class of software developers. Via Dave Lane, who writes much btter, promise.
