It always pains me when I see fellow software developers call other projects "shit."
Especially when the "shit" represents man-decades of hard work, like a browser or an OS.
C'mon. If you don't know how hard this stuff is, then you're a n00b.
Sure, we can always find fault and call everything shit, but is that kind of venting making anything better?
Maybe it makes you feel better, but every time we indulge in this kind of thing we're making tech a more hostile place to work and/or play.
On Twitter I gradually started un-following people I felt were overly negative/hostile - a deliberate filter bubble to keep myself from getting depressed about my industry.
Software development in general, and InfoSec in particular, can be really nasty. A lot of toxic discourse! A lot. It gets me down. 👴
I think the #Fediverse is still too small for that though, I haven't yet found enough interesting happy folks to replace the grumpy negative voices. All in good time...
@HerraBRE I have found here, a lot of really positive people who really boost me up when I'm feeling stressed out. I hope you can cultivate a similar community here!
@denjin Thanks! As I said, I think it will just take some time for people to join and me to find them.
I'd also like to think the grumpies can also just change their tune, but that will... also take time. 😉
