I'd say I'm not so much annoyed** as disappointed by how quickly
"standards" slip. As with so many things in life, they are debased
by inattention to or waiving of subtleties and details

For example, using PICs in a literary context, the mnemonics are
just the words. I would like to be a 'Shakespeare' programmer,
but will likely not rise above a Harold Robbins generally, perhaps
a Pinter on occassion. Because IMHO you can't always achieve
elegance without detail, something I wish I had more time to put
the effort into

** I will admit to annoyance at the grating over-use of "actually"
