I see programming mostly as janitorial work. Why? Because it's mostly complex rather than hard. Of course "real programmers" are upset with RoR jockeys when it turns out businesses pay for delivered value rather than technical complexity.
- Iftheshoefits 13y agoJanitorial work isn't "complex" in any way that approximates programming--even the programming that "RoR jockeys" do. If the two were on the same level of complexity, "RoR jockeys" wouldn't be paid as well as they are. And, yes "real programmers" earn more than "RoR jockeys," because what "real programmers" do is both more complex and harder. But I think calling them "RoR jockeys" or implying they aren't "real programmers" is both wrong and juvenile. Otherwise I don't think you've written anything that conflicts substantially with what I wrote.
