This comment is slightly OT, but this post prods at something I've been thinking about lately. Pessimistically, most programming is just writing a CRUD app with a layer of business logic over the top. Why haven't we been able to abstract or at least vastly accelerate that? Does anybody have any related reading/longform articles on this idea?

What do you mean? That "increasing shareholder value" just increases the value of your investments and they're working for you?

Yeah. I disable auto updating for this reason on my phone. I've had a number of apps change up their functionality on me or add obtrusive ads and I can't go back to what once worked just fine for my needs.

Same, this absolutely kills my flow when I'm expecting a certain screen after switching desktops and then OS X seemingly arbitrarily puts it into another random desktop.

> Politicians don't care about the will of the people at all, several studies have shown this.

Interesting. I was unaware studies had been done on this. Care to share any links?

How about climbing? It's awesome exercise, and has been the source of many of my friends and countless road trips for me.

Yep. I'm from Bozeman, and can think of more than a few friends who could find this useful doing field research out here. And to anyone who is wondering, the name is in reference to the Absaroka-Beartooth wilderness, an absolutely gorgeous expanse of land near Bozeman
