Arguments of Technical People Against the iPad, No 1:

“I am a coder, and I learned my chops on systems of type X, ergo any new coders and tinkerers of the futures can and should discover their passion for code the same way. Change is bad because I can’t contemplate the possibility that anything but the systems and standards I grew up with will produce coders. And therefore everything must remain the same and all devices and systems must be identically open so that one day, somewhere, a new coder may be born. Because any encounter with a closed or proprietary system will break their little hearts and doom software development for ever.”
