Have you ever read Don't Call Yourself A Programmer, And Other Career Advice?They're making their money filing TPS reports and collecting a pension. So fuckin' disrupt, yo. Do exactly the shit the old people don't know how to do and buy them.
You’re in the business of unemploying people. If you think that is unfair, go back to school and study something that doesn’t matter.
If you haven't posted that for general discussion you have been remiss. That's a great piece of writing.Engineers in particular are usually very highly paid Cost Centers, which sets MBA’s optimization antennae to twitching. This is what brings us wonderful ideas like outsourcing, which is “Let’s replace really expensive Cost Centers who do some magic which we kinda need but don’t really care about with less expensive Cost Centers in a lower wage country”.
Yep, in 2013. Pitty we don't have a way to bump posts =( That and this shaped a lot of my direction in what I ended up working on in college:A more general statement of the preceding paragraph is "remember that programming is done in every technical and scientific area". If you loved to write about genetics, for example, you wouldn't major in Writing at college (assuming they even had such a major) but instead would major in Biology. If you loved to write about life in Roman times you'd major in History. Computer programming [as distinct from Computer Science] is a bit like writing. It is used almost everywhere, it is something that you get better at with practice, but it isn't necessarily a fit subject for study on its own, especially if you don't want to be bored out of your skull for four years.
