In my experience in my areas of interest (be it music, cycling, or software development) that it’s the knowledgable, confident members of these communities who are encouraging and happy to share what they know, and it’s the inexperienced, insecure ones who are standoffish and quick to dismiss others’ abilities.
- jnbiche 12y agoYou're absolutely correct. The problem with software development is for some reason, there's an environment that makes a hell of a lot of people insecure, and then it feeds on itself (more insecure people criticizing, creating more insecurity). Why are people so insecure in software? I have no idea. Outsourcing? Social backgrounds?
- JustSomeNobody 12y agoI commented on the story, but I'll reiterate a point I made here. Coding is all mental. When you question how or why a developer wrote a bit of code, it's like you're questioning their intelligence. Some developers find this hard to take and they build up a defensive posture because of it.
