  1. On the subject of shiny things: back in the early 80's when I was working in banking writing ATM networks an MBA decided to program a weekly business accounts summary in APL. He showed the auditor how to run the program which took hours to run and brought the mainframe to its knees. I could not watch this so I wrote the report in a scripting language and gave it to operations to run every week. The auditor was eternally grateful. The MBA took me across the hall into the bank vault and balled me out for being unprofessional.
