Blaming the unknown - constructive approach to technology
If you don't know them, they will hurt you. No matter how expert you are, there are holes in your knowledge, and when things go wrong you usually blame what you know the least.

This talk will give you some general insight on the art of software development, encouraging users to rant less and improve their own practice.
