@carlton Write caffeinated, edit decaffeinated. Doesn’t quite have the same ring to it. 🤔

@webology I’ll have to see if there’s a Hunter S. Thompson quote along those lines 🍸

@carlton I think edited forms of this statement circulated for decades in various contexts, maybe a different wording might help to convey the message :)

(Also I was told by @chanakya that my last post draft reads rather pissed off / aggressive in its message - I might not be the best advisor :D)

@fallenhitokiri @chanakya Yes, I’m likely to phrase it more diplomatically in the final version 😜

@carlton @fallenhitokiri @chanakya Morons -> Naive

@pauleveritt @fallenhitokiri @chanakya I much prefer that version.

@carlton I am an even "worse advisor". I'd rather drink botulinum laced water than use another new "fancy" JS framework. @fallenhitokiri knows me too well and I've written about this in my distant past https://medium.com/@kartikl/nodejs-is-a-monstrosity-91fb7ec99632

@chanakya @fallenhitokiri Good headline! I’ll shall read that later on 👀

@chanakya Ah, that’s better. I much prefer a real blog to Medium 😉

@carlton Very much in agreement on the idea, but I'm personally not a big fan of the word "moron". It's got quite a violent history and meaning if you ask me. If you're open to suggestions, how about "fools"?

@bmispelon yeah, it’s not my usual tone. As I say I’m blaming the coffee ☕️

Also, just looked it up. I agree on the history. Gah.
