"Systems programmers are high priests of a low cult."
Robert Barton, here

Shop your job away — Charles Fishmans "The Wal-Mart You Don't Know" zeichnet ein gleichermassen faszinierendes wie (die Lokaleffekte betrachtend) angsteinflössendes Portrait der ökonomischen Super-Power Wal-Mart als brutaler (und durchaus visibler) Manifestation der Smith'schen Invisible Hand.

"Not consciously, not directly, but inevitably.""Probably the most important [lesson] was that the tool you could get you hands on now was a lot more useful than the perfect tool back in the shop. The second was that if you had a reasonable collection of tools, you could usually adapt one to the problem. But you could rarely fit the problem to the tool."
