I might answer: "I often under-estimate the extent to which my colleagues have over-estimated my abilities, and are haunted by jealousy, and fear of being of being seen as incompetent."
«... thank the gods that they have made you superior to those events which they have not placed within your own control, rendered you accountable for that only which is within you own control For what, then, have they made you responsible?

In 1989, the Internet was still largely used by researchers, academicians, and the military. By 1993, it was well on its way to being the Internet you know. Two developments made this happen: CIX, net neutrality's ancestor, and the web. Here's how it happened. It can't be the real history! It completely ignores the Reptilian Illuminati!

If he can't see how open source changed the world he is blind!
The reason for slow movements is about insurance... With close-source product, you have an address to go to at any point, with any problem - even it is unrelated... With open-source, you are mostly on your own... That's a thing most developers love, but most managers fear...
