>>71338196>computer learning is now an infinite Aladdin's cave of endless bullshitI told them this was where Microsoft culture was leading, we all did. They wanted it to be tiered so fucking bad is the thing, they want white foremen bleeding money overseeing 12 mexicans they picked up at Home Depot, just like every other industry. They want creepy apprenticeships with people who don't want an apprentice and endless, endless tiny qualifications and classes that are 70 bucks a session. Code "boot camps" and endless bullshit to make it look like a topic that's only as complicated as we make it is just another deep cave of already determined complexity from which the Ore of Get Me More Money is extracted. If one day people could occasionally be crushed to death in a LOTO checklist incident while programming that would probably be amazing to them, that way they could have a shitty funeral where their kid becomes an embittered drug addict just like everyone else.
The one industry that could have been anything anyone wanted immediately had a giant iron collar shoved onto it's neck by boomers and will basically never recover during our lifetimes, the culture will continue to be boot camp tralala and On Wednsdays We Kode stem girls horseshit until we're all dust because we allowed our boomer parents to tell us what "business" consisted of when for them it's just a series of repetitive images of people in uniforms. And work from home? Oh god of course not, of course it's time to freak out that someone might not be psychically harassed by a know nothing manager who got his position by being a gay little fixer bully who lucked out a couple of times.
Yeah fuck programming, it's like meeting an alien shapeshifter who's decided the best representation of humanity is a teletubby voting democrat. If they could find a way to make you die at 52 from exhaustion from programming they would add it immediately.
