It's cute that people think this way, but probably not wise. How hard do you think you are to bullshit, when you go around telling people how to bullshit you?

It's cute that people think this way, but probably not wise.
How hard do you think you are to bullshit, when you go around telling people how to bullshit you? How do you think so many startups sucker so many skilled engineers into doing so much for so little and odds-on getting screwed at the end of it? How did Stack Overflow bullshit you (probably) and me (for sure, years back) and a million other people into collectively doing millions of dollars of work for them for free?
- foolmeonce 7y agoWell, the were in a social contract involving the sharing of millions of dollars of work between engineers. Thy violated the contract and learned that they weren't getting things for free. https://xkcd.com/810/ https://xkcd.com/810/ (Now they have a heavily trafficed landing page trafficed only by people who wouldn't recommend doing anything with them.)
- ashtonkem 7y agoEngineers are susceptible to a very different brand of bullshit, which is why there is often tension between engineering and business management.
