I think it would do most developers a lot of good if they were to pretend like they were a servant class to the customer & team for a period of time.
They will hopefully learn that a contest of egos is not enjoyable at scale over long timeframes. A happy customer provides a much bigger dopamine rush than getting some smart-ass jab in on your coworkers.
A job done right and seeing the recipient legitimately happy about what's been done for them should be the #1 goal of a person who identifies as being a fucking genius with computers. Most people suck at this and you should be helping them out, not competing with them in some bullshit heirarchy that only exists in your own head.
- fuzzfactor 2y ago>pretend like they were a servant class This is what I like to do, and it really is worth putting in the effort so that you end up really liking to do it. I've been on both sides of the coin, building engineering labs for petroleum or chemical engineers who are going to spend more expert effort on the data than it took the labs to creatively collect what was needed. Then more often eventually building and adding capabilities to chemical labs where I have some leading data insight for the clients myself. Either way fresh engineers and chemists often have to really start from scratch if they want to become industrial workers, and that's going to take more than a year right there. It's the same amount of work in the lab, but the engineers' output is the product of the engineering outfit, while OTOH the data itself is the product of an analytical lab.
