This is an awful article. Not only does the author not understand the difference between "your" and "you're", the whole thing is written from a very negative point of view. I'd recommend for the author to get into another industry if he feels it's "so hard".
- umanwizard 12y agoThe difference between "your" and "you're" has nothing to do with how insightful the content is.
- rqebmm 12y agowhile that's true, it still does affect how readable the article as a whole is. And besides, the content was hardly insightful.
- yellowapple 12y agoIt does when the "insight" is about respect for programmers and professional conduct. Frequent spelling and grammar errors do not convey a professional, respectable impression.
- peteypao 12y agoI agree. The author sounds like a whiner. "OOOhhh my manager expects so much of me..." Boo fucking hoo. I can't stand reading all these whiny diatribes. Ask all your fellow non-STEM friends and you'll see how much they'd rather be in your position.
- sanderjd 12y agoNone of my non-STEM friends has any interest in doing what I do. They'd love the paycheck, but nothing else about it entices them. There are lots of trade offs; it's neither the world's best nor worst job. This author comes off a bit whiny, but many of his points are sensible. In particularly, ageism is a bigger problem in computer technology (especially on the web, where a lot of the jobs are) than in most other industries. Outsourcing too, though less so. Somebody above linked a better written and less whiny post from michaelochurch about the same stuff.
