Like you might think that abstract intelligence and social intelligence might carry over solidarity instead of making people more shitty in that regard. How does that even work? Why does people like that coast in life while those who they seem lesser than them suffer?


I hate that CS people have coopted the word engineer, to the point where all any one who thinks of the word engineer is someone who sits on a computer and programs useless slop. They don’t need a license, they don’t need liability insurance, they have no stake or accountability to the failure of their design, yet they get to piggy back on the prestige of the profession and earn more than any engineer that actually builds shit for the functioning of society.

So true. Who were the SW developers who killed those people with the Boeing Max 8? How is that any different from building a bridge that falls down?
