Trite, contrived, mediocre, milquetoast, amateurish, infantile, cliche-and-gonorrhea-ridden paean to conformism, eye-fucked me, affront to humanity, war crime, should literally be tried for war crimes, resolutely shit, lacking in imagination, uninformed reimagining of, limp-wristed, premature, ill-informed attempt at, talentless fuckfest, recidivistic shitpeddler, pedantic, listless, savagely boring, just one repulsive laugh after another.
i think we should take a break from teaching people computers and switch to the humanities. i think we'll be good for a few years on computer people
don't get me wrong--some of my best friends do computers. but we gotta balance this stuff out
most computer people I know are not much deeper than a drop of spit on the sidewalk. this is a problem. this is how we get tech bros.
nicky let me tell you how much I scream and rant and gnash my teeth and tear my hair wishing that the computer people I work with had a proper grounding in the humanities
As somebody who was briefly in an informatics course, I agree for the additional reason of I don't think pushing people towards pure computer educations is producing that many good computer people. I think you have to have a particular love/hate of the game if you're going to be a pure computer person (and even then a minimum knowledge of the humanities is still important)
(Not helped by the fact that that informatics course in particular put "IT-management" as an equal path alongside "Software Engineering". Had to deal with people who couldn't program at all despite being in an informatics course, because they were planning to do management)
All of those "Learn to code" PSAs we were shown in grade school about how the world will need millions more programmers and that everyone should know how to program, those were just propaganda from tech companies who wanted to flood the market with programmers so they could underpay them. Not everyone needs to know how to program, no more than everyone needs to know how to grow corn.
