And consequently these movies are mostly irrelevant because they only appeal to a tiny fraction of people.
- afarrell 4y agoThey are about as irrelevant as someone writing a unix tool in Rust, pushing it to github, and linking to it in an email to a hiring manager.

- ianbutler 4y agoRight, do people actually do that? Like to get a job? I’ve never looked at side project portfolios when hiring. Like unless that hypothetical rust tool was completely salient to the role and it was seeing critical adoption it’s basically not signal.
- afarrell 4y agoI doubt people make indie films specifically targeted at getting a job either.
- ianbutler 4y agoI don't really understand your point then, I think both are equally irrelevant. If you thought that was going to be a gotcha because I place programming on a pedestal or something you misjudged critically.
- afarrell 4y ago> I think both are equally irrelevant That is my point. They are analagous and equally relevant: no more. No less.
