    Reading this thread makes it feel like stackoverflow has become the new PHP. You can't even say something positive about it before hell breaks loose. It is really really useful. Actually it is indispensable. It got so many things right

    The previous manager was laid off, and he never renewed my employment contract in the system. So I had to watch each of my privileges being revoked one by one. My parking access at first, the elevator next, the stairs, jira, my email, then
