The I want it now crowd make me want to quit what I used to love doing.

The fallout from the last decade has been, an inability to discern quality, often using price as the yardstick, and a voracious impatience.

I make physical goods though, so your mileage may vary.

Very much the same in software. Now and cheap. I don't really mind though. While certainly there are superstar hackers who can provide quality and still make a buck under those restrictions, the majority are delivering crap (I blame the consumer most of the time) that eventually reqires someone to rewrite it under more realistic constraints due to lost revenue and increasing maintenace costs.

Sometimes anyways. Some people need to be beaten up by their bad decisions many times before the lesson really sticks.

Maybe we'll enter an age of quality soon.
