Rafe is having a bad MySQL day. There should be a word/phrase for that sense of frustration compounded with a certain helpless desperation that so quickly ferments into anger, rage, and sometimes blind hatred. I know that feeling well (see Subversion, blargh), and I think it accounts for some of my most unbalanced moments from the last few years. Its something we’re going to need to address as computing devices become more ubiquitous. (though I think this particularly manifestation is limited to software engineers)
