Why is this linked to the nature of UTF-8 and Unix? And since you're explaining your thoughts, are those nature the same or is each one a different facet of the programmer culture? And lastly: do you honestly think most production or data engineers should be imprisoned or stripped of their titles? |

Those are just another two sacred cows.
>And since you're explaining your thoughts, are those nature the same or is each one a different facet of the programmer culture?
UNIX and UTF-8 are alike because they were made by the same fools, and both made to avoid upsetting the delicate sensibilities of the disgusting C language. The nature of Hacker News is similar in its ignorance and wastefulness, but it's not a consequence of either.
>And lastly: do you honestly think most production or data engineers should be imprisoned or stripped of their titles?
Sure, probably; it's not as if their titles mean anything anyway.
