Another habit of mature people that makes the impatient want to "hulk out" is counting out exact change. I like to combine the two. Wait, don't honk, I'll have to start the count over again...
I sense another Star Trek movie. Put on your hippie robe Spock, we're headed for Earth before a giant alien beer gets there and finds all its children warm and flat.
They can, up to the point they bite on the gristle in the quarter pounder (royale with cheese) and decide the fries taste like they were fried in pus freshly squeezed from a pimple. At that point there is no alternative to texting your friends about your sorry fate and dying in a fiery explosion.
Sometimes you don't know how long something will really take, but that's okay...
I agree with everything you said, but the point I was trying to make (poorly worded), is that time spent doing something other than development does not advance development. I always pad for the unexpected, but if you pull me off a project to do something else, then that project is not progressing. It sounds like a basic concept, but it escapes those who are not responsible for the actual development.
A struggle is getting people to even agree on what a development estimate is:
Me: "That will take 2 months of development work."
[two months of interruptions, putting out fires and "prioritization" later]
Other: "Why is this not done? You suck at development estimates."
The sexist leaders of our oppressively matriarchal society. Ha ha, just kidding. It was probably some guy wearing a "Titty Inspector" t-shirt and backwards baseball cap.
Monkey God says no. Steve will rule until he passes, then a taxidermist will pose him in a display like in Planet of the Apes. A feral pose would be funny. Grrrr!

Microsoft can come to the party, but they'll have to bring their own booze

Grandma will still call you up to ask which one to push.
Few people will buy a puck for every service, and more people will be using Netflix than Amazon. Roku would win that game.
You've made 12 posts (so far) on this Apple story alone, with similar numbers in other Apple stories, and you are calling others cultists?
Top selling phones got bigger and wider.
At one point so did suit lapels and blue jean bottoms.

[taps on keyboard, looks at screen] Computer says no....
Nothing says savory noodles like an army of robots with glowing eyes.
Enjoy the fruits of a civilized guest country then try to blow it up.

Hollywood can grunt out a live action version. Hey, it worked for the Flintstones!
"... a different model from the manistream media companies."
They won't play half the episodes out of order on a shifting schedule then refuse to show the rest? That sounds positive.
Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat.
