Whenever you hear some one (e.g. techbro) talk about breaking eggs to make omlettes as an excuse for whatever damage they've perpetrated in the cause of whatever outcome, its notable that it's always somebody else's egg and, somehow, their omelette.

Totally irrelevant, etc., but something I have noticed over the years: how users behave when you criticise their OS - Windows users nod along and share their own woes - Linux users will wade in with technical fixes - Mac users assume you’re trying to personally insult them
