A girl named Danae peeks into a sewage drain pipe. She calls out for someone named Lars. Then a small craft exits the drain pipe and hovers next to the little girl. Danae then laments about all the stupidity she sees in the world today. A small blue-skinned being responds by insulting the human race and calling all humans dumb monkeys. The alien says they have tried to help humanity. Danae was curious how the aliens have helped. She simply inquiries "What did you do?" to which the alien responds "We gave you the internet!".
The scene ends with the girl Danae lowering her head and sulking away. The comic strip is designed to lead the reader towards the conclusion that the internet is the source of the problems we face today.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Of all their various ideas, restricting knowledge to vetted individuals is far from the church's worst one.
People that need the instruction "Do not iron this garment while wearing" are a prime example of a cohort whose access should be limited.
Think how much faster and easier driving would be if certain people never held a license.

I have a client that writes their own software.
They hired me last year to write a tool for them.
They're not a software company, but their services require these tools.
They've got a couple of websites and a mobile app for Android and iPhone.
It's all mostly updated to the latest versions of .NET with Angular front-ends and all hosted in Azure.
I've seen some docker files too, as well as npm, yarn, Karma, Protractor... All the tools that are, or once were, the popular framework of the day.
One app can have three projects (a back-end service, front-end for customers and front-end for employees), or just the one, kind of depending on when or why it was written.
And it's all written by one guy (who is also the CTO and a real kind of stereotypical programmer, apparently).
Now that one guy got sick, like not coming to work and also not able to do anything for months kind of sick.
And they called me in to take over his work.
It took the guy about two weeks to give me admin rights to everything.
And from that point onward I'll have to figure it out.
string documentation = null;
I'm currently looking for passwords in configs that I now have access to (after I found the configs to begin with).
Just created a whole new database for some multi-tenant application that really needed a new tenant ASAP.
This took me hours as opposed to minutes it would take the original guy.
I also just found out this is one of those three-project applications and I have to add another language to it/them.
Still don't know how to run any of these projects locally 
Taking it one baby step at a time afraid I'll break something at every step...
Cool client though, very nice people, and understanding that at this point I can't make any guarantees.
I'm also kind of impressed this guy wrote all this and judging from a few projects is trying new things.
Still, the whole situation feels kind of weird.
And yes, they knew this was a risk, actually wanted to talk to me about being back-up sooner, but didn't get around to it.

That's what they get for having a truck number of 1. Nice for you, though.

That's...a handful.
Good luck. You'll get there. One careful step at a time.
cheers
