@bascule I’ll allow complaining about things programmers invented to “solve problems." -
@raganwald@bascule how are dates and time zones not something people "invented to solve problems"? -
@judsonlester@bascule they are not things programmers invented. So complain about Ruby’s DateTime class, but not about time zones. -
@raganwald@bascule still an invention, and am irritation to e.g. cross country travelers, broadcasters, legislators. -
@judsonlester@bascule Programmers complaining about time zones are like doctors complaining about human anatomy. Let patients complain. -
@raganwald@judsonlester can I complain about LDAP having at least 3 different kinds of groups that are all basically the same thing but not -
@bascule@judsonlester LDAP is a “solution” invented by programmers. It’s fair game.
