Wow, how condescending ( the family, not OP). Is this notion isolated or widespread?
My family thinks I am a Tech Ninja, and almost all my Gym friends, many of who are in blue collar jobs, really look up to me.
- senorjazz 10y agowell they are right, kind of. We are just the descendants of monkeys who code. Ain't nothing wrong with that :)
- brianwawok 10y agoWell if it goes too far you end up like Europe with a salary cap and a very narrow job range. I am greatful developers in the US are not all seem as code monkies.
- raarts 10y agoI can attest this notion is widespread, especially among MBA types and entrepreneurs in general.
