Why do you think being a father is anymore of an achievement?
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoRaising a child by being a father is a much larger achievement than writing any software. I’d say the same if you mentioned someone like Linus Torvalds.
- whytaka 5y agoDoes Linus even have children? I don’t know cause I never cared what he did in that area of his life. It has never affected me certainly. I am certainly in awe of his accomplishments with Linux/git though.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoDon’t know. But I think that misses the point.
- whytaka 5y agoI get it. He might not prize his accomplishments with software as much as he does having raised his hypothetical children. I doubt it though. Most individuals raise children and there aren't millions around the world singing praises about how one particular individual raised their children. Single-handedly writing software that touches nearly every human being around the world - only few have done that. This reminds me of that Bill Burr skit where he talks about mothers convincing themselves that theirs is the "most difficult job in the world".
- smt88 5y agoBeing a parent is difficult and you are one of (at most) two parents. You will be one of the two most important people in your child's life. Drupal developers are numerous and not the most important people in anyone's life solely because they are Drupal developers.
