Still?? The elitist culture threw me off programming over twenty years ago. I really thought and hoped it had changed
it will never change because some people never learn.
I used to bend over backwards for new devs to help them. what I realized after some time that at least 75% of those devs never learned anything and continued to cling to me for help. my quality and work/life balance suffered from it.
now, I give help. once. I do not repeat myself, and helping is the last thing I do. work, life, balance.
I know I come off as cold or an asshole, but that's purposeful. I want new devs to learn the way we all learned, through time and pain. nothing worthwhile ever came so easily in this world.
Yeah I guess. I take the middle ground I guess. I'll gladly help, but I won't go out of my way unless they really show determination. I often explain that to succeed as a programmer, you need to enjoy grinding away at a problem for hours at end just to enjoy the progress it is to get to that new problem
Not the most motivating live, but I believe it's honest
that, in summary, is my whole career.
Lol. Likewise
It really depends on the team. We don't all suck.
Unfortunately, the teams that do suck are also the ones who are constantly hiring.
There couldn’t possibly be any form of causation there though. Nope.
Yes. I don't have anything to add except that your comment made me do a spit take. Thank you for the laugh.
Knowing that I gave you a laugh is the highlight of my day. Thanks!
Yeah I know. I forgot to mention I ended up as a programmer anyway and I've met tons of wonderful colleagues. I just hoped the elitist culture had gone away
