I was arguing with a engineer two weeks ago about systems. I never met him before. But he had a few drinks and interrupted our conversation. And I nearly lost my shit because of how confident this guy was speaking, saying obvious things and being vague, while not saying anything at all. Like, "This system isn't good at all! We should all follow Clean Code principles!"

Then someone pulled me aside and said, "Go easy on the guy. He's only been in the industry for a year."

And I did feel bad. But also like, my dude... You are going to wake up to realizing you know nothing about everything.

I wish I had your optimism about humanity.
