Think of it as a function you can unleash on others…

Aka “I have zero responsibility here.”

We are talking about about engineers whose careers are based around abstractions.

It’s funny how accountability is just ignored so that certain folks get to feel good.

Having worked in tech companies for decades, I’ve never once felt comfy with letting computer science majors just take the wheel… but I’m sure someone think this hits “hard”.

Historically it’s blamed on UX. PMs don’t create products they run MS Excel.

The gators are everyone that interacts with your code.

True. Horny should overrule all. Any system, if it feels “off” then it’s non-normative. So fuck you.

Bless your heart…

Lucky, not hero.

This is a person saying they don’t like what everyone else on the planet deals with daily.

Fortunately they were published enough to not have to care.

PROVIDED the bullshitter doesn’t turn inward. A PM with those skills unleashed on the team is hell, and is guaranteed to drive talent away.

You may be right…

Just checking comparing this to pottery, thinner/less plastic, or metal…

Or did I miss something by considering the waste from PROTOTYPING everything via spools of plastic? Like I was just talking about planters but if you like, you really have me wondering… what about all the excess plastics prototyping other things… how familiar are you with all that plastic coming off the 3d printing industry? Did I miss something about all this plastic?

We would all be better off knowing what you know. What did I miss?

So in a world where micro plastics are infecting every aspect of our lives…

There wasn’t an excuse in the first place. It’s kinda amazing anyone can say centering a div was ever hard, especially if you have a computer science degree.

I mean sure it’s different from say object-oriented programming… but it’s frankly weird in a professional setting hearing grown adults with plenty of experience struggle over basic front-end work.

Ha right? Call me boring… but that was not the scoutmaster’s problem.

OP was curious enough to ask, but not curious enough to you know…

I mean I had, and have met plenty of others who also had, the opposite experience.

I say this as a pretty vanilla person, not gay, not trans… not even vegetarian.

The Boy Scouts absolutely failed me as child interested in the outdoors because the troop was led by a bunch of adult men pretending their goal was to train a small military unit out of a Lutheran church on Thursdays.

I have met so many Eagle Scouts who were encouraged and taught outdoor skills… actually taught survival skills! Not verbally threatened by some 55 year old polish dude suffering narcissistic injuries…

TRW got us to from Pioneer to the fucking moon without shitting on unions or massively injuring their workers.

Elon takes his parents blood money and buys Tom Mueller… yet people act like it’s the second coming of Jesus while the same engineers now suffer for his ego.

All so a single trust fund baby can claim land in LEO.

Meanwhile in reality css totally confounds the well paid experts in c# and the whole world suffers.

But yea fonts…

I was one of those students who asked how it would be used, the teachers didn’t do the whole real world application part, and I never needed to go past trig.

I work with engineers and use math like any other human on the planet but really wish mathematics was taught differently to make it more interesting. You hear a PHD candidate talk about the hairy ball problem and the math is interesting. Math class never was.

To translate: As a child learning math this equates to “ignore math, the explanations don’t explain anything real, they only explain more math.“

“The only explanation is more abstraction with no real world application as far as math class is concerned. Frankly, there’s more application to your own life experience if you focus on language and the arts.”

If it makes a dev’s life easier there’s no reason not to upend half the planet.
