so you're saying you're incapable or just too lazy to write your own "rss". the second s is for simple. you have all the tools you need in any base unix installation to automate this. it would take you minutes to do.
perhaps this is precisely the point of the recovering programmer comment. there is a reluctance to doing anything for oneself. fear of implementing something for yourself, your own way, because someone else has implemented it their way, placed it in a repository and it's managed to gain a following of users.
god bless the people who still enjoy diy and writing negative code.
mission-critical = consulting company, govt contractor, some organization with advanced bureaucracy
another question: why is sed in quotes?
tis true what you say. somewhere in that time, better hardware and better storage became an excuse to write worse software. and this has continued unchecked to the present.
programmers rejoice in the option to be lazy, sloppy and ignorant as if this signifies great advances in software. small advances perhaps relative to the huge advances in hardware and storage. but the real loss is one of skill.
