"I tweeted Jeff Atwood’s piece because, well, I agree that it’s pretty silly to think that the world is going to be a better place if the Mayor of New York City learns how to code. I agree with Atwood that his valuable time would be better spent elsewhere."

Oh yeah? And who the fuck are YOU, sir?? Or Mr. Atwood?

For all you know, the world would be infinitely better if the Mayor of New York City learns how to code.

But I suppose we'll never know, because no one should ever do anything other than what they are to be doing right then.

Only.

Forever.

In that case, stop writing and go back to whatever it is you were doing before, because the world is not a better place when you blog -- your valuable time would be better spent elsewhere.

Is not history itself defined by breaking patterns? They don't call it a "turning point" because it sounds nice.

How many events that altered the path of mankind were part of "The Plan"? How many were arrived at by strictly adhering to a well-defined path?
