Fun with math: The Illinois House has 118 members.
A handful of Republicans went for a walk during the vote, not publicly falling on one side or another.

All of my friends are fictional, you insensitive clod!
More seriously, you bring up good points. Why would one want to devalue one's profession? One must draw a line: I am not willing to create some kind of software Rube Goldberg machine just to support your proprietary closed-source buggy rotten piece of shit softare. If every other dev says the same, then I have some kind of voice. If not, I have no voice, and an entrenched tellecommunications giant gets to continue to profit off its own fail. Since every other dev has actually said, “I don't care lol,” I have no leg to stand on.
