I know the leftist in me is supposed to have sympathy for these people and get them to unionize. But only after I stop laughing and enjoying this moment. For years these fucks told the rest of us to “learn to code” and pretended like studying anything else at uni was a fucking waste of time.
GUESS WHAT FUCKERS. SO WAS CODING. Looks like we’ll be baristas together, only I’ll have three years of experience!!!
I always resented the people who thought this way, because I went into engineering for the money, and the people who vocally thought this tended to be upper middle class with big safety nets. Not saying this is where you’re coming from, btw. But it always felt like some people thought I didn’t belong there or couldn’t be a good engineer because my motives weren’t “pure” enough, like I should feel bad for wanting to live a more comfortable life than my parents and I did when I was growing up.
Oh sorry I guess I could be more specific, the people who I had in mind saying that, were very wealthy upper middle class people.
At least they were the ones loud enough to say "I'm in it for the money". Folks who had more difficult economic backgrounds just, didn't talk like that I suppose.
Yeah I feel the same way. Sorry my passion, playing music, doesnt pay anything more and i had to get a CS degree to survive, you know?
