Yeah, that's a pretty big case of dissonance there. While I agree with large parts of the article in general, the bit about getting yourself fired is just completely out of touch with reality in a job market trying to replace engineers with shitty AI.
- ajross 1y agoNitpick: it's not cognitive dissonance, just "selfishness". Wanting others to take on burdens that you don't want to bear is a universal human desire, and not very surprising. It's just frowned on as a matter of moral philosophy, so you're not supposed to frame it like that in formal writing. The author's crime is poor editing, basically.
- Firehawke 1y agoI never said cognitive, just dissonance. A tension or clash resulting from the combination of two disharmonious or unsuitable elements.
