You're like Lance Armstrong after he retired from road cycling and decided to get into mountain biking because it'd be so easy to stomp the competition in a race with merely 20 miles of distance and 5000' of climbing. Needless to say he got his ass handed to him because there was a whole world of technical skills which he did not even know existed. Riding up a rutted, rocky, rooty slope does not allow you to stand up and leverage your superior legs and lungs because guess what your back wheel just slipped out and you wasted a ton of energy falling over.

    > my comment still stands. My analogy is one of the best in the history of ill-advised programming analogies, the more I think about it the better it gets (of course it may be lost on people who aren't mountain biking full-stack developers). Your comment on the other hand doesn't have a snarky leg to stand on.

      I could say i'm pretty good mountain biker who is laughing at road bikers discussing if shaving a beard would trim down enough weight to win a race or create more drag.

        As a neutral third party observer, I've enjoyed the exchange and only lament that if this was me at work, how much time I'd have spent on crafting the perfect comeback message to someone on the Internet and how much pride I've taken in my work and only to know in the deepest of my heart that it is only a "labor of love" like the sound of one hand clapping that no one'll ever hear or appreciate. Kudos to you both, gentlemen.
