I read it as: "programming could be so much better; I have a glimpse of what it could be like, but don't know how to get there."

- joe_the_user 13y agoI like your reading better. I would have liked the blog better if it had had more of the feeling of humbleness that your words have. The blog felt like it was saying "shut up till you do something better" where it should have said "Imagine how cool it would be to do something better".
- mattschmulen 13y agoA humble approach is always nice, its always challenging to give an earnest opinion ( after all that's why I read your content, for your opinions) and be openly modest. your (authors) terminology in differentiating programmers form coders is different from my own 'naming'. My wording are often around application development vs systems programming. a sys programmer writes software for humans to control machines ( databases, OS's,tools) where as an app developer is focused on software (computers) that controls humans ( apps that constructively shape human actions) . I liked the article , good post.
- john-kurkowski 13y agoI totally understand the viewpoint though that there were 0 solutions in the article. A rant like that is off-putting. Still, I felt it worthwhile to bring awareness to the, ah, malarkey in programming.
