No. It's not. Too many coders think they are geniuses. I spent a day recently debugging why the entire invoicing system froze. The previous "genius" built this bizarre batch numbering scheme. The code would start at a last known point. Look at the orders for the next batch number, if it reached 999 - by querying the database one at a time from the last starting number to 999 - then it started at 100. If it reached 999 again it went into an endless loop. That is what standards and good practices must be made known, so some moron cannot shut down an entire operation. No one know there was a purge operation available to stop this. That is the stupid world we inhabit.

A plug-in hybrid has an electric motor and an internal combustion engine. If I say you should know how and when to use the ICE, but another freak says, not to ever use the ICE, and I say it is built-in. What is wrong with that? Those asking what does he mean it's built in? Why can't we just go electric. There are times where you won't be able to recharge. If you're stupid enough not to put fuel in the tank, then I am not the stupid one. If you tell everyone to avoid the ICE, then it was stupid to buy a hybrid. It is a fact the mdot is there for a purpose, and I have never been Nazi enough to tell everyone to follow a naming convention instead of knowing how things work. Donald Knuth said a performance improvement that is easily had is worthwhile. I don't argue I don't drive an electric car because it is purple.

You are tolerant of a stupid bully. I am not. I have damn good reason not to tolerate bullies and that is for everyone's benefit - until recently I let it go. I am no longer going to be pushed around like a woman in an alley, by a bully and his thugs.
