Comment Comment by RandyRanderson Randy's Axiom 173: VERY widely used techs are some of the worst, ill-conceived techs ever.However, no one will admit this because:. many people don't know them (the techs) well enough because they're so abstruse. Some people would argue this a necessary feature.. many people only know them and so can't compare them to something else. people that do understand them typically have financial or ego reasons to look the other way. people that do understand them AND are rich and happy are afraid of all the other ppl in this list.Generalization: any widely use tech must be extremely complex or extremely simple (eg TCP). parent RandyRanderson 4 months ago
