Oh, I see. A most cogent line of reasoning, that. 'Tis hard to
come up with a counter argument.
However, I hold to my statement: there is a cookie cutter
trend in computing, and when I look around, in my old age, methinks
that truly people have started to embrace the philosophy of mass
production and quick turn around time-to-deliver cycles.
In fact, I was castigated on irc on my approach of hand
crafting my packages, and I was informed that since I did not use
helper tools I was not as prolific as some others; and that it was
easy to take a package, shrink-wrap it in a debian package in under
an hour, and go on to the next one.
I still prefer crafting my code, though that attitude probably
marks me as being in my dottage.
