And now I can't help but think of http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2085276 ("And suddenly, you're hip")

When did engineering get so slick and personable? It's a little unnerving to the slightly-antisocial among us... nerdery used to be a safe place for us. Now it's ninjas and slick conferences and macbooks everywhere.

</cranky old(er) person rant>

(N.B. I do like macbooks)



Once a few nerds became the richest people on Earth they made it a lot harder for us real antisocials to blend in - and now this whole nosql/apple/ninja-sql-esque thing has left us well and truly thwarted.

(Just think of a macbook as a BSD box and you'll regain your self respect)


This is exactly what I was thinking. Perl crew: take note ;)
