Arguing about problem #1 doesn't mean it takes away effort from dealing with problem #2. Maybe the author should also write a blog post about "How can you waste time arguing about eating your vegetables while THERE ARE COBOL LINES?"

Is that the most important problem for the tech industry? For the human race? If the proverbial twitter DSL programmer wouldn't proverbially create a DSL, would he use that time to meaningfully solve the systems' antiquity problem in the X sector? Even if so, is that the most important/bang-to-buck problem in known existence?
