It helps me to think of my code/systems as livestock, not pets. I don't get emotionally invested in my work, or tie it to my self worth. Highly recommend.
My question is whether those long posts people make when they change companies are about ego or if it somehow helps their career to make a big deal out of it publicly.
Because we went from living in a world where information about the world around us was hidden, to suddenly having access to all of it. It's surprising, jarring and overwhelming and it's probably going to take multiple generations for people to figure out how to use it effectively, ignore the noise, and deal with the social issues created by it.

This reminded me of a story I read once upon a time where someone found a game online they wrote 20 years earlier. The thing that was weird about it was that they only shared it with their cousin. I can't find the story now. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
I'm in the other camp on this one. I think the best thing to happen to IRC were the services that let you keep your nick or your channel without needing to maintain an army of bots. Channel takeovers on EFnet were a fact of life and it made things pretty unpleasant imo.
