This particular rant was started by my looking to divert my mind by answering a question on StackOverflow. Never ever ever go to StackOverflow. Kids today just don’t know squat and there is nothing you can do to help them. Let’s start with my initial response an a slightly improved image. QML is just a hand polished turd.
