I once attended a hackathon in Switzerland where Apple sponsored some prizes. They had a bunch of relatively young (read mostly junior level) developers there and one 'glorious leader' management-level kind of guy.
I shall never forget seeing two of the young developers following their glorious leader with ipads in their hands wherever he went.
- mwfunk 12y agoI don't get it. Why is that an unforgettable image for you?
- th0br0 12y agoOTOH, why do you perceive this as something not to be forgotten? For me, this simply shows a specific kind of dependency and hierarchy that I don't want to identify with. In my opinion, IT (especially) is a topic where knowledge (how to do X) matters less and less, because said knowledge is accessible for free anyway. All that matters is how quickly and well you can execute and whom you know. (Not that I really like the last part, but I guess that that's human)
