Probably worth noting that he also wrote the very well done "Programming Sucks" article, https://www.stilldrinking.org/programming-sucks https://www.stilldrinking.org/programming-sucks and the original HN discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7667825 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7667825. If you hadn't read that post, definitely worth it.
- arcticbull 7y ago"Programming Sucks" is genuinely one of my favorite pieces of writing. If y'all haven't it's very much worth a read.
- mbillie1 7y agoAbsolutely my favorite (funny) thing about programming ever written.
- comicjk 7y agoI like the core description of programming, but the framing - that programming is tougher than manual labor - is childish. Life is not a competition for whose job is hardest, and if it were, no one on Hacker News would win it.
- erikpukinskis 7y ago> no one on Hacker News would win it. That might be true, but it doesn’t seem like a thing you could know.
- Doxin 7y ago> Life is not a competition for whose job is hardest I think the author agrees, and wrote the article mostly as a response to people who think it is.
