Except that a good percentage of programmers are not as subject to the know-it-all symptom that comes from prestige.
Because, our field is not as set as medecine.
- cpfohl 8y agoI call BS. I know I'm an insufferable know it all at times. Many of my coworkers past and present were/are as well. Furthermore software's image is skyrocketing.
- Xc43 8y agoOk. Agreed.
- dsfyu404ed 8y agoHave you read the comments on non-programming issues in here? It's hilariously full of "well obviously the solution to X is Y" for things outside the author's area of expertise.

- Xc43 8y agoI assumed wrongly. I guess I thought most programmers were as I am.
- arkades 8y agoThat’s funny. As a doctor with a long background in managed care and healthcare policy, I find the healthcare-related comments here painful to read and extremely painted over with know-it—all-ism. I’ve begun actively avoiding them because of how unpleasantly off-base they are. No one wants to read an entire thread of, well, what you imagine doctors would say if they were discussing programming.
- Xc43 8y agoI have a friend with a Chemical Engineering degree. Recently he decided to change careers and go into Med School. He tells me of how it's ridiculous how various concepts in medecine could be replaced by a simpler one from physics. If I remember correctly he gave an example about fluids. (I believe he could revolutionize the field of medecine) As I wrote in another reply, I guess I was wrong about assuming humility in others.
