You only get to write this rant if you built your computer yourself, smelting the metal and crafting the circuits by hand, without recourse to off-the-shelf parts, and then wrote every bit of code for it on your own, from the lowest-level drivers to the highest-level interfaces. And for bonus points, you have to use it by toggling ones and zeroes manually, since all those wrappers hide things and get in your way.
