Or perhaps those "whiners" consider themselves responsible employees
by being diligent in understanding what "normal and correct" looks
like so that they can recognize when something is going south and
maybe doing something to avert a crisis before it occurs.
And maybe they are wrong, we'll never know ...
I swear that every time I read about how boot (or other) is so
unaesthetic I really have to wonder if people are actually using their
system as a tool to do work, or if they're merely playing with them as
a novelty. Not that there's anything wrong such play, but please stop
trying polish the appearance at the expense of functionality for those
who see them only as tool.
So let me allow to make a parallel.
You go working every day wearing work clothes like these [1] because you
see them only as a tool and you need to get work done ?
An obviously caring about appearance as well as functionality or as a
compromise is wrong, right ?
Simo.
