@TheAlbatross @dgerard I just stick with all 4-3 openings these days to get around this. That may be considered inferior by pros, but it doesn't make a big difference at the amateur level and it prevents endless obnoxious 3-3 invasions.

@sailor_sega_saturn @rook It always annoyed me that the super secret death spot in that Batman episode ended up being in the most blindingly obvious place.
@Architeuthis @tante I often hear it said that the TREACLE crowd is a section of early 2000s Internet atheists that went on to invent their own god, but I don't think it gets pointed out enough how much stupider their belief system is compared to the religions they constantly mock.
@self @froztbyte Another big part of it is the obsession with the "young genius disruptor coder". Which has resulted in management buying into endless fads foisted on us by twenty-somethings, and then inevitably having to undo half the things they implemented 5 years later. Well, except for React, which apparently we can't get rid of but must forever keep reimplementing with whatever new new pattern will actually make it scale for real this time.

"And now they’re secure enough in that control that they do this fully mask-off shit ..."
That whole DRM-the-web attestation thing Google proposed last year was eye opening. Sure, they had been evil for a while, but the fact that they knew they could start proposing stuff like that at all is just so bleak. In a sane world, that behaviour would instantly result in serious antitrust lawsuits.
