Reminded me of an old joke, (no idea it's origins.)

A programmer finds a genie -

genie "You have 3 wishes"

Man: "I wish for a trillion dollars"

Genie "done"

Man "I wish I had a hot girlfriend"

Genie "dude just ask your crush."

Man "I'm scared of planes, so I wish for a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive there"

Genie "come on, do you realize how much engineering and logistics that will take. Not to mention all the international permits I'll have to deal with. Try something easier"

Man "okay, ummm.....I wish my program UI was understood by everyone who uses it"

Genie "how many lanes?"
