@aral In this case, I'm glad to be a fool.

@aral (To be fair though, some don't have the choice to begin with. Think supporting children, paying off debt, high costs of living... Luckily I don't have any of that)

@aral A couple of years ago, I attended a software architecture meetup. After the talk, a project manager voiced his criticism of what he just heard, referred to programmers who actually cared about their craft as "artist types" who he thinks are "the worst" and boasted about kicking them out as soon as he spots one. Worst thing is that dudes like this think they're in the right when they say and do stuff like that.

I once had a job interview at such a place, followed by exactly such an evening event. I left when one of the managers complained that the 10 hour work day limit (according to local law) was "encumbering their entrepreneurial freedoms".
