Nothing personal, I try to correct this view everywhere I see it.

Y2K didn't happen because a lot of talented engineers worked their asses off to prevent it from happening. It is the bane of IT people everywhere that the working state of the systems they create and maintain is being taken for granted by the public, with barely a thought givem to those who fight bugs, spam, cyber attacks and pure entropy every day. It is in fact a minor miracle of engineering that we're even having this conversation.

And thank you! I merely followed directions, my first real IT job. But I'm proud to say I was there! As a private if not a general.
