> So you're saying people as a whole don't change behavior over time? At a fundamental emotional level, yea that's pretty much what I am saying. > It's not possible that the average modern software developer is just a bit more sensitive about their work than a welder was in 1950? Maybe. It's possible that the selection of 1950s welders consisted of a fundamentally different slice of the overall social profile than coders of the 2020s. But overall sensitivity comes with pride. If 1950s welders had pride in their work I am certain they had sensitivity about it also. But the statement was "Nowadays people seem to be oversensitive about their code". So you have to compare people who write code now vs people who wrote code in the past. Not two different professions.
