You made an erroneous inference from what I wrote because you
seriously underestimated how little I think of software developers.
If software developers are *slowed down*, there will be less bad
software because there will be less software.

It didn't *have* to turn out this way, but it did, and *you* are part
of the problem because, apparently, you think you know how to write
good software using languages and tools currently in use.

I may be wrong.  If you are writing in a language and using tools that
allow checking of your programs for formal correctness, and if you
actually use those tools, please accept my apologies.  Otherwise, you
are just another member of the club of gunslingers that call
themselves software developers and talk big, probably because they've
spent too much time blowing people away in video games.

rotfflmao.  The extra f is intentional, as I'm sure your humor is not.

Once again, if you are using tools and methods that practically no one
actually uses, please accept my apologies.  If you are relying on your
own personal brilliance and rigor, or that of your colleagues, you are
deluding yourself.
