So far, the technology has met expectations. But as is often the case, it's the people that ruin it (current company excepted, of course). I appreciate the often introspective posts on dev.to. As is evidenced by the "what is your biggest weakness" posts, people here are willing to accept their own flaws and the flaws in others. The wider Internet would benefit greatly from being similarly introspective, as well.

Like my mom used to say, "when you're pointing the finger at someone, remember you have four more fingers pointing back at you."

"when you're pointing the finger at someone, remember you have four more fingers pointing back at you."

This is a strong saying, never seen that before.

The actual saying is that there are "three fingers pointing back at you", but my mom always said four. :-D But it's an old saying here in the US.
