If Office Space were remade today it would be all about hyper-sensitivity, worship of popular developers by name, walk outs, and Dunning-Kruger people. Unfortun

If Office Space were remade today it would be all about hyper-sensitivity, worship of popular developers by name, walk outs, and Dunning-Kruger people. Unfortunately, a key target audience would likely take this as a serious personal attack.

> worship of popular developers by name Worship is a bit of a strong word, but in any case the likes of Lovelace, Turing, Von-Neuman, Knuth, K&R, Stallman, Wozniak, Berners-Lee, Torvalds all predate the movie.

And Code-Bro Libertarians. Don't forget those.

  I don't know what code bro mean, but what's wrong with believing in liberty?

    Some people believe their personal liberty gives them the right to infringe on other people's personal liberty. Those people sometimes call themselves "libertarians" in the US, when in reality they are anarcho-capitalists.

      I think that's a gross misrepresentation of what they believe. I have talked to several of them and this is false. I lean more towards the socialist libertarian side, so I disagree with them on some things but your kind of discourse I don't think is very helpful.

        I think the problem is people in the US co-opted the term Libertarianism from its traditional use for those on the "left" end of the political spectrum. Please see what I mean here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism#Prominent_currents https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism#Prominent_curre... In my experience, libertarians in the US are of the "right" variety, and not so much the "left"

    "Bro" is, as far as I can tell, a generic term for "culturally unassimilated." It's not what most people would normally think of as a bro, the valley bubble just needed a way to slight outsiders while remaining in denial about how conformist their culture is.

  Isn't the term "Tech bro"?
