    Haste in harten Zahlen erstmal Recht, aber es gibt einen gewissen Klassenunterschied finde ich.

    Azubis malochen für schlechtes Geld damit sie später für ordentliches Geld malochen können. Praktikanten farmen Connections und Lebenslaufeinträge für ihr nächstes Karrieresprungbrett.

    In Branchen wo du faktisch schlecht/un-bezahlte Praktika machen musst um reinzukommen, sieht es natürlich anders aus.






  • You’re argument seems like Suresh’s to me, in that making working software is just laughably easy for a competent engineer.

    This begs the question why noone is exploiting this market gap. But there’s a couple explanations…

    It can be a coordination problem, in that there are just barely any competent software organisations with enough engineers. The problem can also lie in how software is bought, since customers seem completely unable to determine the competence of vendors. Perceptions on what kind of software is a safe, respectable choice may even be anti-helpful in this regard.


  • I don’t think you have to be hypercritical of that part. Sure, rose-colored glasses could play into it but he calls the bad stuff bad and doesn’t justify it via the good stuff.

    Also the stuff he describes seems plausibly achievable through buddhist spiritial practice:

    In many ways MAPLE delivered: life-long friendships, freedom from past addictions and limiting self-narratives, strengthened character, and, for many of us, profound spiritual openings and realizations.

    This Soryu figure seems fairly well accredited in that department. He just also happens to be a megalomaniacal control freak.

    (Also, why does he have to share a name with Asoka? I’m dying a little.)

    edit: I knew I spelt megalomaniacal wrong…














  • Disagree, I think there’s something there.

    Something about baby anarchists who get the spiritual lessons but stubbornly refuse to engage with the complexity of the world and try to naively derive practices straight from theory which end up laughably ineffective. In contrast, once it truly sinks in how fucked and complicated the world is and how powerless your faction is your political practice starts looking more “normal” ™️, but you harbor no ill will against the enthusiastic baby anarchists and sort of envy their lifestyle.

    Might be wrong, can’t read OPs mind. But somehow it doesn’t feel mean-spirited.
