Its been an interesting change over the last decade. Programmer oriented forums used to be all about becoming a super coder. Now inevitably 50% of the time there will be a comment saying, "You know you really could get away with caring less". I suppose that's true - but then why even read the article.
- prepend 9y agoI fear that there’s some secret forum where are all the supercoders live and I’ve been left behind because I’m too dumb. 20 years ago it was all people trying to maximize. Now it’s about people wanting work life balance and such. My alternate theory is that pretty much only really dedicated developers were in web forums in the 90s so it was a lot of self selecting. Now the industry is much larger and the Internet is the default and everyone is online.
- marcosdumay 9y agoThe industry got older. There was a massive growth on at the late 80's and earlier 90's, but although the number of people on IT kept growing, it is much slower now.
