This reminds me so much of the UNIX Hater's Handbook, which argues that this attitude ("it's just a rite of passage", "it is better now anyway") is a result of growing up in a world where the design errors of UNIX are seen as features.

- X-Istence 15y agoI've read the UNIX Hater's Handbook a long time ago. I have a hard copy stored in a box somewhere. I don't quite understand what point you are trying to make though. Ultimately the code loss was my fault, however it ended up much better for the source code I was working on because I had time to think about what had to be done and how I should do it, ultimately leading to less code that ran faster and was much better organised.
