There is something wrong with you old man by Vested Id 10/25/2014, 4:42am PDT
You don't have to like it but the appeal is plain as day. Code Monkeys is poorly done garbage, this is a very well done Code Monkeys.

Remember how you love Ghostbusters and Star Wars? This is a blockbuster oriented around a self-concept of nerdiness. A guy spends all his time writing computer code. Maybe when he got started he believed it was a hard, deliberate intellectual process that took you one step after another towards the goal. After a few years he makes the horrible realization - he has no idea when the right solution to a problem is going to come - deliberate work has a lot to do with it, but it's not a linear progress. The solution always comes in a flash, and worse, looking back, he only sees the solutions; the memory of all those painful hours evaporates because that time was meaningless. Necessary but meaningless. You see this in the worldview of Redditors: there is no controversy behind gay marriage, just a waiting period until people come around; gender is a social fiction and therefore all rewrites are valid regardless of how you feel because you're just reacting to someone else's moment of insight.

Where Ghostbusters is like a very well-furnished apartment, Pilgrim is a series of very concentrated points of focus like a serrated blade; all empty space not there to help define each point has been removed. I don't know how you had enough presence of mind to realize you hated it.
