Wow, what niche are you in that developers aren't just swapped out like spark plugs at the whims of {,product} managers? Literally didn't know this hadn't happened everywhere yet. I thought this attitude of treating programmers as real professionals died with the dot com crash.
- fifteen1506 2y agoNowhere. I just assumed I had been unlucky so far. Appears not. Any tips on which software-related industries that hasn't happened, if any?
- ElevenLathe 2y agoYeah that was my point. Programmers are no longer viewed as "professionals". I've never experienced it, but my understanding is that this used to be the case, mostly before the 2000 crash. That's when we wore ties, had offices with doors, were allowed to talk to customers and upper management, weren't herded around by "scrum masters", etc. Seems like another world to me, but maybe there is some company somewhere that hasn't gotten the memo yet and still runs that way.
