3 days agoThe arrogance of assuming that anyone who didn’t vote or who voted third party, just automatically owe your party their vote.
The entrenched two-party system has done more to cripple democracy in America than any other factor, and yet it’s so pervasive that y’all whip each other into line trying to shame anyone who tries to break free of it.
Thank you.
“I don’t have to know CS201 Data Structures and Algorithms to do my job”, says a thousand D-tier coders online, whose code is costing their employers a small fortune in unnecessary cloud compute bills because they just blindly imported a ton of python libraries and went with the least suitable data structures and algorithms for the task at hand, because that’s what the defaults were for that library. “It fulfils all the requirements from the client perfectly, bow to my experience and skill in delivering customer value”.
It’s classic Dunning-Kruger, incompetent people who are too incompetent to know they’re incompetent.
Bonus points when they cite the fact that they were involved with a project that cost a hundred million dollars, as “proof” that they’re a world-class expert, when it probably would have been a ten million dollar project with an actually competent engineer…
