How to Instantly Spend 80% Less Time on Facebook

I don't know what about computer science people makes them feel qualified to speak on such a broad range of issues. Perhaps it's that computer technology now largely serves as an interface between numerous aspects of humanity, but that is not a qualification!

But regardless, I'm not sure how it's possible as a programmer to be so unaware of what people spend their time on Facebook doing. It's not responding to messages, or accepting gifts, or any of the other bloated minutia other programmers thought would be fun.

What people spend their time doing is, above all else, viewing other people's profiles. Tracking them. Reading about them. Laughing at the inside jokes they post for each other. Reading each other's wall posts. Obsessively following relationships. And besides, many people enjoy spending time on Facebook.

Perhaps you've lost touch as a (giggle) self-proclaimed "wealthy programmer" so beaten by social defeat during the younger years that you feel a portrait must be photoshopped into a distorted view as through glass bricks, but please. Take yourself down a peg.

I'm sorry to be so bitter, but the web has more than enough self-aggrandizing advice peddlers.

"I don't know what about computer science people makes them feel qualified to speak on such a broad range of issues."
What gives anyone but an expert the right to speak on an issue at all? People have opinions and as long as we think we will try to speak them. Also the only reason you see mainly computer science people on the internet is because it is the playground to all computer science people. It is the internet after all.

I recently read this and I thought it would be appropriate for this post. Also because I am not a idea stealing ass I have it linked to where I found it.
"After all, what were "experts" before they became experts, except "users"?

Or, to put it another way, an expert is a user who other users call "expert"."
