@edwiebe I have some horror stories to tell about techs who made that awful and absolutely incorrect assumption.

The people have their own lives, and many of whom you probably depend on THEIR expertise and TRUST them to do their job, be that driving TTC or grocery clerk or banker or plumber, you EXPECT they are telling the truth and you BELIEVE you have recourse to the courts if they lie.

None of that is true about the IT industry. After 55 years in it, I often wish I had spent my time in an honest job, like pimping, or used-car sales.

#ELIZAEffect was an accident back then, but today it is TOTALLY deliberate.

So, perhaps you meant "People flogging IT technology are, on average, either incredibly stupid, or fantastically sociopathic."

You could run a poll 🤣
