I boosted @GinnyMcQueen's toot about this earlier, but Yonatan's response to the Google manifesto deserves a non-CW toot. I know and trust Yonatan and there is substantial wisdom here. https://medium.com/@yonatanzunger/so-about-this-googlers-manifesto-1e3773ed1788
@noelle @GinnyMcQueen Because I agree with most of what Zunger says, I regret he felt he needed to belittle “low-level” skills.
If coding were that easy, software wouldn’t have so many bugs.
Thought experiment: imagine an auto executive talking about the huge gap between his prowess and that of “his” assembly line workers. Now think of the Zunger essay. Notice a similarity?
