speaking of people that drive me nuts.

I was on a panel yesterday and got the usual "we don't want any of
this academic nonsense getting in the way of our pure programs".

Academic nonsense like Linux, and Python, and gcc-style dynamic
binding, all of which they use to death and none of which existed
until fairly recently.

Applications people drive me crazy sometimes. "Don't change anything
... ever .. we want the same constant environment that we've been
changing all the time for the last 50 years".
