Up top I want to be clear: I totally agree that software is really, really close to actual magic. I think comments like this are less about the reality of the situation and more about a bad vibe about the industry, and venting. I think we’ve all been in a situation where “doing a good job” meant moving a little faster than we think is appropriate. These pressures add up, and I don’t think it’s totally unreasonable that some folks who witness things too far on that end of the spectrum might scream out into the void. I don’t think it generally comes from a place of disrespect. In fact I feel like it comes from a place of feeling like doing good work is important. If i get it in person though, it does generally come from folks who think they’re better than me, which I agree is disrespectful.
