It would be great if we all met each others' expectations. And yet it doesn't work that way. A step up from where you're at is to realize that tech, ANY tech, is easy. If brute-forced by rote it can be even be learnt by those without the aptitude.
What IS difficult to master, is people.
- simplecomplex 8y agoNo, tech is not easy. I dont think I’ve met a software engineer in my entire 20 year career who would characterize programming as “easy”. I don’t think of law, medicine, and architecture as easy either. I’m sure I could have been an architect, if I spent years learning it like I did programming. But that doesn’t make it easy. Software engineers command huge salaries because it’s not easy. Just because anyone can learn anything doesn’t make everything is easy. I don’t understand why tech celebrates amateurism and ignorance... We don’t all know everything but we shouldn’t wear our ignorance like a badge of honor either.
- Spearchucker 8y agoMastering tech is easy relative to mastering people. I know. I've done the former for 32 years at companies like Microsoft and Nokia. Still learning the latter. Not sure how this celebrates amateurism or ignorance.
