Indeed, and although it would sound silly to us, a lot of journalists are surprisingly bitter over the 'learn to code' meme-debacle of just several months ago. When the journalism bubble burst the success of tech was used to humiliate journalists. They won't be kinder when our bubble bursts.
- whalabi 7y ago(as an aside, "that learn to code" jeer to journalists - without whom democracy can't exist - is disgusting) Implying that journalism has no value and people should mechanically make.. accounting software apps for a large organisation instead of uncovering and presenting information about those in power is hideous. It's no surprise that Trump supporters are all over it.
- kanaridandan 7y agoNo offense but it seems like neither you nor the person you replied to actually know what the "learn to code" meme was about. It was a moment where the tables had turned on journalists who had told coal miners and the like to just learn to code after being put out of their jobs. You have to remember, journalists aren't babies and you don't need to stand up for them as if they are, especially without knowing any context.
