Wow, a lot of people on Twitter angry that the security guard didn't try and take the guy out, and blaming the city and state governments for not being tough enough on crime. Is "I'm closing my store because there's too

"The trick to making a boring job interesting is to make it more complicated". This is IMO terrible advice for building software. Edit: your example seems like a good instance of applying this _well_, but I would not tell anybody
