Mediocre [blank] Doesn't Require Talent or Even Passion

• dogma1138 10y ago
  Actually not mediocre most taks do not require exceptional talent or passion regardless of the profession. If you want to define it as mediocre fine but then 90% of things in life are. I never understood the notion that developers are somehow special and need to be better than the average worker in another field.

    That is what makes corporate jobs so interesting, where mediocrity and politics rule over quality and skills.

      Politics is a skill in a large group being political is more important than individual capability since you need to be able to work with others. This isn't about corporations this is about cooperation at large scales.

    > If you want to define it as mediocre fine but then 90% of things in life are. Honestly, that seems fair. Sturgeon's law would suggest it's even optimistic.
