You didn't understand what he said at all and you are wrong. I ask you this... there are very different ethics and morals around the world, even many differences in ethics and morals between your home and your neighbors, so which ethics or morals should you have to be able to teach ethics and morals? The ones you have? lol

Don't fool yourself, it didn't anger anyone; no one really cared

You can't compare Walmart to Amazon, Walmart is a northamerican thing, Amazon is global. Walmart has zero influence in the prices of the tomatoes grown in Europe.

What about I don't care that you don't care?

> And even if you are an atheist, you probably still accept the bible is the closest thing we have to a human origin story.

wtf! what did he smoke?

The main point is to get congestion out of roads and your solution is to increase congestion. Nice!

he said "I failed" not "the tool failed"

The second condition is a bit stupid, most failures or inappropriate functioning of the system in software development can be considered a harm in economic interests...

We call Software Developers to coders and then, Consultant or Software Architect to the ones who design the systems. In between you have Analysts.

Any of them can be Software Engineers or not, because we call Software Engineers to the ones with the university career finished

> At the end of the day, you wind up in a lot of fairly pointless arguments about tech stack and coding conventions that 99.9% of the time don’t make a bit of difference to the final product.

99.9% of the time they do, maybe you don't see them functionally and visually, but probably you aren't measuring security flaws, performance and specially ease of maintenance which goes unnoticed most of the time...

The real question and a better post than the original post would be: Are people living in the 21st Century too easily offended?

But it's a rhetorical question...

This post is stupid and it's not the first time I've read something like this.

Of course it's easier now, layers and layers have been added over the years to make programming easier, simpler and for a wider audience. Almost any library is made to make a programmer's life easier and simpler, if you didn't have that library and had to fight directly with the underlying layer it would be an order of magnitude harder for you to do it.

So of course it's easier, because being easier or simpler doesn't mean anything if you don't take into account what you're comparing it to. In this case with the difficulty of what was there before this particular library was written.

The problem is that 30, 40, 50 years ago most of the programmers were smart people, engineers, the best of the best... Making programming simpler every year and for a wider audience has made people with no patience to want to be programmers, they want it all chewed up and they want it all now, instead of struggling with the code or documentation (if any) themselves, and they want to be programmers in a month.

If this is not the case then it's because "it's really hard", sorry but no, something that takes you less than a couple of years to learn to reach an intermediate level is not hard.

There is a difference between documentation and tutorials.

People getting offended just because someone said something is easy and simple. Problems of the 21's century...
