Well, it doesn't help when techbros from 4chan and other 'techie'-linked spaces routinely troll these same journalists by suggesting that they should "learn to code", or something. I'm not saying that their envy is justified, but it seems that there's more than one side at fault here!
- chadcmulligan 8y agowho pays any attention to what someone on 4chan says?
- Amezarak 8y agoIt isn’t ‘techbro’ trolls that are engaging in the learn to code trolling, it’s people who believe that the news media gleefully printed hundreds of articles about how blue collar workers needed to quit complaining about the new global economy and learn to code, and that they are being hypocritical now that the (supposedly) same forces are impacting their industry. I’m not endorsing the campaign which is hurtful at a time when someone has just lost their job, but to interpret it as techbros holding coding up as the way of the future is a mistake. Most of these people are also skeptical of coding as a lasting career.
