Perception vs. reality
The general perception is that programming is a socially isolating, boring, monotonous job where you stare at a screen all day.
People making career choices don't know about the lax environment.
So tech completely aligns with what he/she wrote.

- MrTonyD 9y agoI was recently reading that there are estimated to be 6 billion people in the world who want jobs, and estimated to be 2 billion jobs. So advice to "leave your employer" reflects a very narrow world view - a view from those having privilege, and without empathy for those with different choices.
- jawbone3 9y agoThe op speaks about the choices of people based on thier lived experience of working these jobs, and the grand parent is also arguing inside that context. You present arguments that clearly seek to support of the GP, but talk about the outsiders erroneous perception of these jobs when their harshness is an agreed premise. And its not even my premise you argue againts, I merely inherited it from the the user you try to defend!
