Software in Germany is simply not highly regarded, on the contrary. It is seen as necessary evil at best.
Ageing population that finds itself overwhelmed is my guess. There are exceptions, but they are far and few between.
- jcgrillo 6mo agoThat seems like a good thing. Mostly software doesn't make people's lives better, instead it does the exact opposite. A society that recognizes that, and rejects the people who build it, is ahead of the curve.
- jqbd 6mo agoSame as with nuclear...
- joe_mamba 6mo agoYeah but then you get demolished by the economies who made bank with software and loose a lot of your skilled youth to them via brain drain and are left with an ageing population and high welfare costs with nobody left to pay for it because they all left to work in SW in other countries. You can't expect the entire population to share your luxury belief. People at the end of the day want a better living. In a globally competitive environment, there's no virtue, no reward at the end, for dying on a hill as a broke luddite.
- jcgrillo 6mo agoMaybe the reward is that all the awful tech people went somewhere else?
- skrtskrt 6mo agoWell no, the result is they still make a lot of software it’s just really bad
