> And what are these "peers" that exist in our profession? Your peers are people you work with to achieve a common goal. > I have a team lead who doles out work, with a manager over him, with a manager over him and so on. The basic structure is no different than that of a dictatorship. The basic structure is also no different from a democracy. Or a large open-source project. > What's this "basic respect and human dignity" you find in your corporation which you can't find on lkml? I hope this doesn't come as a surprise to you, but you're not supposed to rage out and flame your peers. It shows a lack of self control. Those examples you gave of CEOs losing control are notorious for a reason. > I hope you never have to keep the network and desktops of a Wall Street trading floor running. Do those still exist? (serious question) > What planet did you just descend from? Regards,
