Yes, rightly so! I would have been more than glad to address and discuss any of the points made or tools mentioned in the article but that happiness has been stolen from me by the lack of such comments. You're right.

Yes, some of these tools I've mentioned I've also worked with for years. It has been a few years since I've exited from that industry and now I've tried to bring back the feelings and remember the tools and standards so I've had to do some research. It slowly came back. But I did discover some new tools and languages that I haven't used so the horror was even greater than what I've remembered and then I couldn't stop digging for more. Good observation.
