"You're in an industry reaping disproportionate benefit from loose money policies, leading to a trend-chasing culture of overpaid nerds making web apps."
This is how software engineers undervalue themselves and damage their own profession. You will never see doctors or lawyers write a statement like that about themselves.
The line about "loose money" is laughable to anyone who's ever actually tried to raise funding.
- nickbauman 11y agoAgree. But there is an element of truth to it. And that same element can be applied to doctors and lawyers. Probably especially lawyers. Doctors and lawyers don't fundraise for themselves, either. They don't need to.
- stcredzero 11y agoYou will never see doctors or lawyers write a statement like that about themselves. Really? I've often heard doctors and lawyers engage in a little self-aware self parody.
- reitzensteinm 11y agoJust because you found it hard doesn't disprove the statement. It could be harder still without said loose money.
- kyllo 11y agoIt's a joke ok? And have you never heard a lawyer joke before? A lot of lawyers laugh at them too. This part was funnier though: Many people try to compare Rust to Go, but this is flawed. Go is an ancient board game that emphasizes strategy. Rust is more appropriately compared to Chess, a board game focused on low-level tactics.
