Re: Weakest Link...
Twenty+ years ago, when I was a highschooler taking an IT internship (with the town educational system, coincidentally), I was keen and green and ready to find and tackle any computer problem I could get my hands on. A week later, my boss told me something I'll never forget:
"Kid, I know you think you have something to prove and you might just have a career in this. But if you have an engine where one part is made tougher than all the others, it tends to wear down everything around it and the system breaks down."
In other words, he was telling me that the strongest link breaks the rest of the chain. Uh, OK, I'll get right on that sir.
