I am talking about the negative ways programmers are presented here:
> You can domesticate programmers
> all these programmers keep hearing their fathers' voices in their heads saying "When are you going to join the real world?"
> discover that their product is produced by utterly unpredictable, cooperative, disobedient, and worst of all, unattractive people
> dress [the programmers] in suits, and they become sullen and start sabotaging the product
> you can sense that [the programmers] are making fun
of you with every word they say
This is incredibly infantilizing.
Perhaps the tone of the article did not get across to me. Is it written in jest?
I personally read it as serious as I know many people who perceive programmers as nothing more than walking stereotypes.
Unless I completely missed the tone, I still stand by my: "unfortunately this is still how some people see the industry."
