The entire post is less than 900 words. Might it be better to reserve judgment until you read the article?
- famousactress 16y agoYou're right. I read it, sorry. Still don't like it. The whole thing is obnoxious, and sadly ironic. It reads like "I don't like how you guys make me feel like I ought to be more like you, so you ought to be more like me". Nobody is shoving anything in anybodies face on this. Also this is an interesting quote: What is it about computer science and software engineering that causes people to become obsessive, arrogant, elitist people? I think we've got the cause and effect reversed here. A better question is what would make obsessive, egomaniacs (those other terms are a bit ugly) want to write software. To that question I'd answer Are you kidding? We play God in a little box all day and organize intangibles for a living! You couldn't design a better career for those attributes. Better question posed to the author: Why did you decide to do this? Cause it sounds like you've got accountant-envy.
