I think the Mandolorian kinda gives us a preview of what that could look like and so far so good.

Legendary composer. Wish more young people knew his stuff, but kids really get bombarded with John Williams' stuff when they watch Star Wars. But yeah, Ennio Morricone is every bit as important and influential as John Williams.

Reminds me of that quote from Ryan from the Office: I'm such a perfectionist that I'd kinda rather not do it at all, than do a crappy version. Seems that Google's software shares that mentality.

Fair enough, but the topic at hand are the potential reasons why programming, as a whole, not only doesn't command must prestige/ respect, but in some sense kinda seems like a joke to outsiders. And my contention was that programm

So true. Most people equate Computer Science major to code monkey / grunt. And, to be fair, in many places, that may not be far from the truth. Many CS graduates are simply working on building CRUD web apps. And, even worse, sometimes

Have to agree as much as I don't like some of their products. They really polished the experience and executed on their visions with great aplomb.

Apple stores, on the other hands, are like popular night clubs these days. I was at the mall the other day and saw a long line up of people looking to get in and a girl with an iPad looking through her list to see if she could admit people

Well put. Just cause it's happened a 1000 times doesn't mean people are numb. The protests out there are evidence of this. Yes, some people know some cops in some places are gonna be huge dickheads, but it doesn't assuage our
