>what does it bring the world, literally?
I'm betting over 90% of what we do, collectively, really doesn't offer any true "value" to the world for however you're defining value.
Which means that your measurement is bad because it's based on your opinion.
Just like your comparison to Hitler. For supporters of Hitler, the things he did were amazing. But that was just their opinion.
- Bayko 2y agoI agree. Almost all of us are writing CRUD apis and react components at work what are we contributing to the world of value? Hmm nothing I say!
- grogenaut 2y agoAfter working on a big entertainment time waster social site all week (not so much a crud app) I spent all today running first aid at special Olympics which I think provided value which the crud app let me do. Does that count?
- blindluck 2y agoYes. Just as much as a farmer planting a seed. I save a lot of time thanks to crud apps.
- oulipo 2y agoI'm not saying that most devs are helping the world anyhow. But I'm saying that those guys are not either. So we should not be "celebrating their success" as though they did something extraordinary They just sell shit. Why should we rejoice because they do it efficiently?
- paulryanrogers 2y agoAt least we're not teaching kids to gamble and eat chocolate.
- oulipo 2y agoExactly
- oulipo 2y agothat's... my point... Hitler was evidently a bad person, but for their supporter he was great. That's what I'm saying to Simon... why taking such weirdos as figures of "success" when all they do is try to create addiction to shit content
