We educate our IT professionals wrong

Our society is all about fun. We fun this, fun that, and fuck all. Consistently with that, we teach students that computers are fun. Hell, no, they are not! Computer science is science, not art. Computers are very complex, very fragile, very unforgiving. But our students believe that computers are toys. This leads us towards a catastrophe.

The transparent menus in KDE, which I've written about below, are only possible due to the above fallacy: FOSS developers believe that they came here to play, and that their every user will either enjoy playing along or shut up.

No, shitheads! We do not enjoy when you screw around. We have lives. We have real-world jobs, and your antics do not amuse us. Smarten up!
