The point is dear friends and colleagues, that none of us signed up to be computer professionals only to have our craft usurped by a bunch of management types trying to make a name for themselves by spouting eastern philosophies and wearing ragged golf shirts
I am tired of having a textbook thrown at me every time I ask a human question and treated like a factory floor worker by human automata and recent grads suffering from impostor syndrome
I know there is more to software than bottlenecks and efficiencies and all that tripe it seems quality and quantity are the only measures may as well go back to East Germany where all this bullshit emanates from in the first place
Even the damned ranking system on hacker news is an echo to the system used in North Korea. Software has become a breeding ground of groupthink and it's this kind of crap that fuels it
Are you seriously telling me Toyota is a better software company than Nintendo?
I'm alluding to the fact that a whole generation of software developers who grew up idolizing Japanese video game companies got bait and switched to pursue the manic automation principles of a car company rather than enjoying the joy de vivre of our heroes at Nintendo -- the respondent didn't get that my question was rhetorical to begin with and gave an essay-length diatribe on what I consider wholly misguided literature so I switched gears into troll mode and the whole thread blew up
The “Nintendo releases more software than Toyota” comment wasn’t the original. My response made no sense so I removed it and asked why they thought they needed to change their response.
