I agree, but sometimes there are really good reasons to change, or evolve, an API. As with the case of OpenGL and OpenGLES in this very example. The problem is that JWZ doesn't seem to consider this possibility at all; his seemingly shallow experience with OpenGL is enough for him to assume a position of insight, and his obvious conclusion is that some incompetent buffoon must have been in charge of the API which he does not feel familiar with. Being great in any field of programming ought to teach you that things are rarely that simple. I simply think that ranting about things which you really aren't that familiar with is a trait that doesn't fit a purported expert in the field — or a purported expert in the field should be able to recognize the things he/she isn't one in.
