Agreed. Nerds in generally tend to make a lot of ... odd ... short term decisions. Perhaps time to admit that a lot of what we do all day is "annoying" while balancing that with the fact that we're some of the best-paid people on the planet.
Enjoying that economic windfall while doing what's all but scientifically provable as a half-assed job raises issues around quality and ethics. (Something as a community we're also a bit famous for tiptoeing around...)
- seanmcdirmid 12y agoThe current state of PL is very annoying, less so than a decade ago, but still annoying. Most programmers don't really care, there are plenty of other annoying ways to spend life for less money. But improvement is so possible, not everything significant in PL was invented 20-30 years ago, yet that is what we are stuck on.
