ctide didn't say anything of the sort. I think ctide was trying to generalise from programmers -> people not implying all of humanity.
I have seen this phenomena (?) of "binge conferences" in many other circles - medical, engineering, accounting, legal. Journalism.. the list goes on, so it is a fair point.
- envex 15y agoI think the main reason it turns into "binge conferences" is because people treat them as a vacation. Away from home, why not have a few drinks. I'd bet $5 that the tap at GitHub isn't used to binge (as much as the author thinks). It's like a foosball table, used for a week straight, then forgot about.
