Welcome to Berkeley, I guess.
Honestly, it was only a matter of time before the dissident left decided that the software community was just another monied enemy for them to hate.
The good news is that nobody really takes them seriously, so if you can tolerate the occasional impotent protest and the (very) occasional WTO-style near riot, you can proceed with your life and ignore them.
- SyneRyder 13y agoFor someone completely outside the Bay Area, it can be hard to judge whether this is a big deal or not. The frequency of the news reports makes it seem like all the Google Buses are being blocked / attacked each morning, and now that employees are being targeted individually at their homes. I know it's turned me off accepting jobs in the Bay Area - it isn't the only reason, but it has been part of it. It would be reassuring to know if these are just isolated incidents being magnified by the media lens.
- yapcguy 13y agoDefine "software community". Not every software developer is working for a large corporation or venture-backed start-up.
