I am teaching young geeks things that their first jobs will likely forbid

This is rather dramatic for what it is. I identify with the geeks and empathize with the situation.

However, we don’t have it nearly as bad as the artists who design coca-cola ads.

I have been trying to say this for years, but I never said it this well. Holy shit.
