What's wrong with VP, Bank Manager, or whatnot?
Not everybody wants to be a programmer. In fact, it is perceived that programmer has no life, awkward in social situation, and tend to have a child with autism.
- astine 18y agoI think that it was a subtle joke about how programmers tend to view non-programmers. -- Or it was a joke about how these people aren't really losers after all. Either way, it was a subtle snub on the 'cool to be a geek' thing and how programmer's arrogance can be their downfall. It leads up to the DK affect discussion, which is the second point of the article, we aren't as smart as we think they are and other people are smarter than we think they are.
