My comment was in response to you apparently not understanding the distinction being drawn by the OP between software development as a relatively high status profession and the relatively low status auto mechanic career. The OP was alluding to the waning status of being a software dev since the 2000-2010 heyday. Injecting your opinion regarding my take on the status of the auto mechanic profession was entirely unwarranted.
- endisneigh 5y agoI understand the comment - my point was that I don't consider being an auto mechanic to be a low status, or shameful profession to begin with - hence my original reply to begin with. I believe it is you who did not understand the point of my original comment. Oh well.
- hackinthebochs 5y agoOh, so you were in fact feigning ignorance as some kind of bad Socratic method? I figured as much, but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. It's also a mistake to assume a casual example to make an entirely unrelated point is representative of someones views.
