When they were young I told my artist daughters that there's Art, and
then there's the Art Business. They are quite different.

Long ago, when I was a new hire at IBM, fresh out of
college with my hoity toity computer science degrees, and

I would try to argue with the MVS developers about how MVS
perverted the definitions of computer science terms, like
using "queue" to refer to any linked list, when "queue" was
supposed to be an abstract ordered data structure with
specific addition and deletion protocols. And they would
mostly tolerantly ignore me and tell me that before long,
I would be just like them with too much work to do and no
time to argue about such things. And I thought, "No way!
They are wrong. I will always make time to be
passionate about that." But it didn't take long for them
to be proved correct.
