Wouldn't getting angry about it greatly reduce your effectiveness at solving the problem?

Last time i was angry and like that, i was around he age of 14.

I realised early in life that being angry and whining about things waste time and solves no problems.

I used to get pretty angry about things like that as well as lots of other things but not so much anymore. I'm on psych meds & not forced to live with my parents anymore who really resented me for it.

I can't remember the last time I had an operating system problem that caused me any anguish but there's certainly a level of tolerance with hardware and programming that I sometimes exceed. Trying to find an uncaught PHP exception for too long or trying to diagnose a set of components that aren't working together in a spare build, eventually my patience goes and I calmly stop doing the thing before I blow a gasket.
