- brailsafe 7y agoI don't personally have a fomo, but I'd certainly argue that it is very much rational and not necessarily a phobia. My impression is that it's just a cynical reaction to a lack of interest derived from lack of diversity in the problem domain. Your reaction would be irrational, perhaps derived from insecurity or feeling that your personal belief has been attacked repeatedly. Would you say that you personally love re-inventing the wheel, and would you prefer to have your viability in the job market depend on variable your knowledge is on the narrow scope of re-inventing the same wheel?
