    I’m a “code monkey” and never once expected anyone to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. You seem jaded at the c suite and taking it out on hypothetical devs.

    I have no doubts that there is a good portion of people who work programming jobs who are also assholes, but am I in a bubble or something? Why would your average dev ridicule a coal miner? Miners work fucking hardcore jobs and deserve every penny of compensation and then some.

      Have you interacted with any bougie SV dev lately?

      Edit: This shit was the goto motto for every code bro within a 10 mile radius of the valley.

      And I’m glad you have the empathy to recognise that although the coal industry was a pox upon the environment the people working in coal mines have a harrowing job and deserve fair compensation. (as do every other professionals that do honest work)

          I know m8.

          I thought empathy was an evolutionary trait, turns out it’s a skill, and some peeps (geographically around the valley) have evolutionary advantage by letting it wane. Set a wall centered on Philz (fuck Forbes for making it hip for the bros) and barricade up to a 10 mile radius. Solve half of earth’s problems.
