Brace yourself. SJWs are coming after software projects this year.
- amiga-workbench 9y agoI'm pleasantly surprised PHP has remained largely SJW free, probably because it's not trendy. I imagine microcontroller software development stays free of them too, largely because of the barrier to entry.
- GenericsMotors 9y ago> I imagine microcontroller software development stays free of them too, largely because of the barrier to entry The barrier to entry on maintaining a project like Node is large enough...my guess that nothing useful in terms of code or concepts will come from this fork. Only screams and tantrums.
- curtisblaine 9y agoThat's why I think entering development should be harder. This "everyone can code" trend only resulted in worse job candidates and a lot of people doing politics instead of coding.
- anotherbrownguy 9y agoI think that is wrong way to think about it. If, say, we do enforce some "barrier to entry", it would probably be some education and certification to be eligible for software development. The SJWs will make sure that they will be prioritized to be eligible for those certificates, even if it means to change the eligibility criteria to do so. And then they can basically use it to kick everyone out of software development, except for SJWs. I think we should keep it as it is and wait it out. They will find something else in a couple of years and move on.
- curtisblaine 9y agoI enforce a "barrier to entry" myself when I interview someone though. If they're less than highly competent, I don't allow them to join the company I'm interviewing for. Others have this mentality of "letting everyone in, we'll train them later", especially if doing so serves other (non-technical) political or social agendas.
