So why not encourage men to pursue careers in nursing and teaching?

that's over 2 BILLION.

Not everyone at Apple is a coder. Not every job is the same.

Note how designers and architects work in teams, in open work spaces.

I have seen communication in a PM group go to shits because of a move from an open layout to a walled cubicle garden. PMs were avoidig their cubes, sitting in the cafeteria as they enjoyed the "coffee shop hum".

Reality, as always, is nuanced.

Quite frankly, any employee who posts a 10 page manifesto is deeply suspect.

You're a fucking coder, not the founder. Don't like your gig? Go somewhere else. Grow a pair.

this is so old (2008, with updates till 2010).

why is this up again?

must have been on HN multiple times now.

well, good news for the HN community!

start your engines, reddit will do what so many user-driven content sites have done - light themselves on fire. slashdot, digg, they never learn.

yes, the network effect is a huge moat. but then you actively alienate your users and then it goes FAST.

good luck to the aspiring entrepreneurs going after this opportunity.

don't even need a strong business plan, not like you can make any real money - but you'll get funding for years to come :)

Exactly the same as explaining to a paying, non-technical customer why you haven't found the bug at the core of his issue yet and thereby given a fixdate is not possible right now.

It's clearly broken, so why the hell is it not simple to know whats wrong and how to fix it?

And this is for software you've written and you have the full source code for.

Don't envy doctors at all.

not sure where the confusion is.

below the marketing language this is exactly those 2 points. guess it is easier if you work in enterprise, this business speak is a different language. pretty verbose, low information density.

Funny humans care about their children.

Nothing is scarier than birth-defects. Radiation causes very visible birth defects.

Hence people are very, very scared of radiation. And rightly so.

A windpark will not cause disfigured babies. Hence wind is better.

And: Nuclear is the most expensive energy source, by FAR. safety, waste, clean-up - super, super expensive. dismantle a wind park and it is gone, poof. dismantle a reactor and now you have a new problem.

Also very hard to weaponize wind or solar. Blow up a wind park and well, the wind park is gone. Steal a rotor and now you have a rotor.

etc etc etc.

What is sooo hard to understand about this?
