"Referring to the term of "janitors" as demeaning is pretty demeaning and says more about you than your judgement of the parent."
I don't like this rhetoric device you just used.
Also, I think that janitors do important work as well.
- hu3 7y agoLet's not fool ourselves. The demeaning of janitors was introduced by GP by describing it as something they would rather not do. No mental gymnastics required.
- cma 7y agoHe said he felt like a janitor, next guy said he demeaned others as janitors, and now you are saying he demeaned janitors. There is a level of gymnastics going on.
- hu3 7y agoFirst paragraph: > The common factor in most of my decisions to look for a new job has been realizing that I feel like a very highly compensated janitor instead of a developer. So for that person, feeling like a janitor is incentive for seeking a new job. It's that simple really.
- CDSlice 7y agoThat doesn't mean he is demeaning janitors, just that he doesn't want to be one. There are loads of reasons to not want to be a "code janitor" besides looking down at janitors.
- rswail 7y agoI'm not a gymnast, but comparing people comparing their work to janitors and calling it gymnastics demeans gymnasts. /s
