That's right. The text was generated with the usual Markov chains random text thing, trained with part of Sense & Sensibility and with |'s edited in manually.

Wow, what beautiful jibberish. I mean, anything with a beautiful girl, a young man, a night, dinner, and magical Owl, who can wish for more?

Well, usually, shortly after the young man professes his undying love for the beautiful girl, at a diner owned and operated by a magical Owl, the Universe explodes and is replaced by something completely inexplicable. Of course, the rules may be different in the OP's personal Universe; happens all the time in this quadrant...

No, no - "Gibberish" is not spelled with a "J"...

Give him a chance - he only joined today, and posted two bits of junk. See if he does anything else, I guess.

In the back of the mirror all I could smell was the lively fragrance of the blinded courtesy boat from the train station, while there is no word for the soft tissue trash can frolics. For as the saying goes it can only be seen by the blind person sitting at the corner of the round table while talking to his deaf daughter

Are you accusing to work in the "differently abled" Business Process Outsourcing?

Sorry Nareesh, I don't understand, but see clickety[^]

Right? Every time a coder leaves here we create a new folder on the internal network called "[Coder]'s Brain" and copy their hard drive to it.

I say that about code I wrote myself more than two weeks previously. Maybe it's an age thing?

Wall Street Journal, Nov. 21, 2014, "Automation Makes Us Dumb:
Human intelligence is withering as computers do more, but there’s a solution." by Nicolas Carr [^]:
"Ten years ago, information scientists at Utrecht University in the Netherlands had a group of people carry out complicated analytical and planning tasks using either rudimentary software that provided no assistance or sophisticated software that offered a great deal of aid. The researchers found that the people using the simple software developed better strategies, made fewer mistakes and developed a deeper aptitude for the work. The people using the more advanced software, meanwhile, would often "aimlessly click around" when confronted with a tricky problem. The supposedly helpful software actually short-circuited their thinking and learning." The problem I have with the language here is in the equating of "rudimentary" with "simple." In my book, "simplicity" is a "holy grail," often achieved only with heroic odysseys' through the wilderness of "complexity," where "rudimentary" commonly means just "lacking functionality."
The problem I have with the experimental design of the study cited is that it has no test of the "median," software that had some "aid:" more than the "simple," less than the "complicated."
Whether or not I "buy into" Carr's premise: well, I'll have to read his work, first.
Carr's personal web-site: [^].
Would it be a devilish thought to wonder if programmers would be more in demand, paid better, if the general populace were more dumbed-down technically than they are now ? ... Assuming that programmers are not also being dumbed-down at a similar rate by the increasing extent to which to-write-the-code-click-here developer tools are dumbing us down.
«If you search in Google for 'no-one ever got fired for buying IBM:' the top-hit is the Wikipedia article on 'Fear, uncertainty and doubt'» What does that tell you about sanity in these times?

Is that even possible?

I don't have to think about it, I agree. I came to that conclusion via direct observation without a study.

The best reason for KISS is because we can. As for providing self-help assistance for users via documentation or whatever means, that only matters to the 10% or so of users who might actually consider solving their own problems. Most people, including clients and family members would rather that you just fix it for them. Now, excuse me while I remote into my brother-in-laws 6 month old laptop since he is complaining about how slow it is now...I tried to offer some easy tips for him to try, but he immediately interjected, 'that sounds complicated, can't you just remote in?'. And later on, I get to backup the wife's laptop because she doesn't know how.
So, I don't think the populace is dumbing down, I think they are just getting lazier!
