Yeah, that is true isn't it. It's too bad they haven't learned to move into the growth mindset.

The reason "B" treats everyone like that because he's projecting on to you and everyone else his own poor work ethic and untrustworthiness.
This is the type of "manager" you have to manage.

I agree 100% that this is most likely the case. This is the case of a person operating from a fixed mindset.
Meanwhile, most developers (because of the nature of our work) are of a growth mindset.
This book I'm reading right now really explains this and it has opened my eyes to behaviors I've seen like this over my 25 years in IT. The book is amazing. Check it out.

Don't forget the "fold it until it's all sharp corners" part. That's important for any proper exit strategy.

Nice, they remind me of... Some band I used to know?

Ok a wild guess (and completely wrong): ORRING?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I suspect you had the real answer too OG, but I've never set one before, so here goes.
FRINGE - alternative
RING - band
FE - iron, clad ring with it.

Decidedly better than Griff's version, what with being correct and everything 
Well done, sir.

Oh very good - I do believe that might be it!
And no, I didn't have it... 
So in all probability, you get another first: posting tomorrows CCC!

Mickeysoft is trying to confound us and bring us to our knees.[^]
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"No, from Canada."

I know. I wish they were like Linux more where you have to use the command line for everything and have to search the internet to find the magic keywords to do simple things.

If you feel that way towards your computer, that you have little choice and are not in control, I suggest therapy.

No. The computers are ok. These are just my feelings when I see how Apple and their cheap Chinese imitation Mickeysoft desl with their customers.

In over 20 years they've never dealt with me poorly and in fact they have made it possible for me to have a good paying career. What's your experience?

Let's see...
They have been hopping from one OS version to the next, every time quietly killing off some stuff and trying to shove us in the new 'one and only' way to go. The only exception was Win7. At that time I had the short lived hope that they finally got in touch with reality again. One of those little 'oooopses' cost me enough code to buy a new Lamborghini, and please not the plain slow base model. Forgive me when my excitement about the next grand new idea does not exactly reach fanoi level anymore.
Trying to imitate Apple also does not help. I'm not going to write any (cr)apps which are expected to cost nothing more than pennies, give them 30% of whatever I get, followed by the government who takes about 50% of the rest. Besides that, I refuse to give them any say in what I may publish and what not. Perhaps the law can come down on me for taking my liberties a little too far, but it's not Mickeysoft's, Apple's or anybody else's business.
And yes, there is also the little issue about the forced updates to Win10. When somebody comes along, installs unwanted stuff on my computer with the intent to draw some bucks out of my pocket, they will discover that they do that only twice with me. The only trust I invest into them after this little stunt is to expect them to become a little less subtle when they think they have sufficiently locked in their sheep.
