Please don't speak for all of us. There are many of us around who still take our usual jobs of developing software to be an art of developing useful technology.

I think comments like these, although said in jest, undermine the work of many programmers who are creating useful technological solutions for a living.
- pqh 9y agoNot everyone is so lucky. Why should you be the one to feel undermined in that case?
- jschwartzi 9y agoIt's an art for sure, but I don't really enjoy it anymore.
- aalleavitch 9y agoI mean, I was definitely just joking. But I also think it’s a reality that we have to accept that despite our best intentions, much of what we make will be consigned to the dustbin of history. Only a small percentage of our products will ever break through that barrier to becoming truly useful in a lasting way. That’s not a failure in my eyes; that’s the reality of innovation, and the system is working the way it has to.
