This is an example of a quote I heard the other day by a developer named Jeffrey Hammerbacher who said:

"The best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ads."

I'm old. In "my day" most of us used our programming skills to make life better... developing software for heart-lung machines, medical cures, moon landings, factory automation, financial efficiency, micro computers, cell phones, the list goes on and on.

What WP needs is a complete top to bottom re-write... not another intrusive pop-up seeking personal information used to sell us something we don't want.

YMMV
