The author was fine with the idea of a social event for software engineers. Until he read more about it.
But then I kept reading the article, and it became more disturbing. A tech journalist wrote about it like this: "That’s what we want to do for others- we want to enable them to come together for a common purpose to help humanity. We see different parts of technology as different elements that come together to create a key that will unlock a door that will change the world." Wait, what? It’s a one-day event. How are you going to change the world in one day? If they could really do that, then imagine what they could do in a year. This sounds like someone with delusions of grandeur. Or a cult.
The name of the event, "SuperHappyDevHouse", is annoying, too.
- egometry 16y agoAnnoying how? Too flippant? Not a fan of camel case?
- kanja 16y agoyeah I'd much prefer super_happy_dev_house
- random42 16y agoNo question about it. Follows PEP08 guidelines, for variable naming conventions.
- Apocryphon 16y agoToo animu.
