The one engineer in my life who cared about the craft of software development also refused to have a color profile pic and also did his zooms in black and white and thought Ruby was the only good programming language.

That's like one person with terrible taste.

  • My point lol.

    I think most devs, especially ones that call it a "craft, take themselves too seriously. We're glorified construction workers that get paid a lot

    • > We're glorified construction workers that get paid a lot

      That attitude is my point. I'm a developer by trade; I have a different set of feelings and concerns about "the industry" and how new tooling will affect it. (I even use it sometimes at work.) But I'm also a computer scientist and I thought more of you all were too.

      To beat my original analogy to death: I thought this was a painting forum, but it's more of a "making pictures" forum, and now that it's easier to make a picture, no one cares about paintbrushes.
