This is a nice thought exercise...but that this is often treated like one of the great tribulations of our time as developers...it's a bit pathetic. I'm not saying things can't be better, but as a working people, we're not exactly oppressed.
- gitpusher 9y ago¯\_(ツ)_/¯ One can only evaluate their own environment and try to improve it. I think this is an entirely valid enterprise
- droopyEyelids 9y agoHow could you take the time to complain about this article while there are children starving in Yemen? Being given the choice to read someone's thoughts on improving people's lives isn't exactly oppressing you.
- preordained 9y agoIt's an issue developers, or hacker news, harps on all the time. You would think we are working in some unregulated third world factory conditions. Most of us work in a comfortable office with plenty of amenities. Yes, the open trend is less conducive to work we do. Noted. I just feel fixating on this stuff and (IMO) exaggerating how vile and terrible the average working conditions for us are makes us look needy and entitled as a community. My .02 I'm just honestly disturbed how much this "issue" seems to resonate with hacker news. I could leave well enough alone, but I had an opinion I wanted to share.
