It is a tradition on the internet that the Ministry of Truth and the Ministry of Love are run by different people.
So, here is yours truly with a complaint.
How do you actually get a competent, but civilised, non-arrogant, ordinary, non-insider, non-son-of-a-bitch to write code with?
I’ve emailed several programmers, small and big, leaders in open source, dealers in closed source, peddlers and meddlers in politics and hacking, friends, small folk with hearts, big folks with egos and without hearts, and even tried speaking to cute animals.
But no one seems to be interested in doing a project with me.
No, this is not your regular sissy complaint.
No, I am not a luser.
If anything, if you are feeling great objection to what you’re reading, you’re the PEBKAC, not me.
My only fault was I thought flame wars are about principles.
I found out much later they are about arrogant, if peaceful, b_stards quarrelling away like the soldiers of the Army of Anubis.
So, where do you get someone ordinary to write an ordinary program to make ordinary money?
Yeah, they always keep saying that a man is known by the company he keeps. I am blown by the company I’ve kept. Blown apart, in fact.
(phew! big load off my chest!)
Yeah, so where do you get plain ordinary simple straight programmers, the POJOs that actually get code written and you know, make customers happy and go to the next project, dont try to ahem save the world, and Greater Things ™.
You like to post on the same topics over and over.
Please re-post where decent normal people coordinate over programs.
And where you are not forced to work under highly illustrious mentors who don’t give a shit what you think about anything.
Really, when all advertised methods don’t work over 3 years, you wonder what the whole thing is about? Truman show or something?
Yeah, I know you have my IP address.
