I write libraries that get used by people who write websites that provide tools for creating visualizations of the number of commits made per day in the repository of a library used to make other libraries that get used in the building of services that power servers that provide free hosting of applications that help people write more code, commit more and then visualize how much they have commited.
- EvanPlaice 11y agoKinda begs the question, 'at what point do we start making the tools used in other industries better rather than constantly cycling our own'? This is like a marketer who tweets about a commercial that was created to promote the twitter account. As a result, The number of followers sky rockets, the account gets notice from all the major media outlets, and it's hailed as a great success in the marketing world. A disruptor, a peek into the future of marketing. Meanwhile, people who have real products and services are failing to reach their potential audience because super twitter self-referential marketing v2.0-beta is doninating the marketing industry. Source: I write libraries too but oft times question the utility of such things.
