“Wizards”
I was thinking about certain “workflow tools” and “wizards” that exist in the world of web design and programming generally … and how, like Gandalf, they’re really a fucking disappointment. You end up with worse problems to unwind, later, that you dump on your replacement.
BTW …
If some mother fucker comes to your door and says “YOU ARE THE ONLY HOPE TO SAVE THE WORLD”? – they are a grifter, and full of shit. The world doesn’t succeed or fail on the whims of any one person.
However – the world can turn sideways, or improve, based on ENOUGH people.
Gandalf’s “elevator pitch” is a lot of fear and intimidation bullshit.
(and Bilbo should have blown that mother fucker away)
And the good guys win? – you probably end up with a WORSE of EYE of SAURON.
(voters and statists do what they do)
