You're wasting your time. Despite the fact that computers literally run the world, the vast majority of software engineers have collectively decided that their work is only deserving of ridicule and stupid memes. Software engineering is the only profession in human history where self-hate is the cultural norm, and any attempt to imbue the work with seriousness and respect is invariably met with contempt from the professional masses.

- p-e-w 3y agoBoth the "joke" you linked to, and the fact that you linked to it, are part of the problem I described. If you can't respect what you do, I promise you that others won't either.

- evandale 3y agoI'm just trying to make some money so I can live in the city and eat food. Not really interested in earning people's respect. Why the hell would anyone care if someone respects their profession or not anyways? Seems like a weird thing to get bent out of shape about. Lighten up a little man, life is supposed to be about having fun and enjoying it.
