I disagree, incompetance is rampant. I worked for a healthcare company who kept it's data at a Dell security center. One of their people ran a SQL script that deleted millions of billing records. They informed us later that they could not recover the data because every 24 hours they were writing over the one backup they kept. We had missed the window by a few hours.

It is when you break windows or otherwise damage property to enable the theft.

Overturning an election is not effectively overthrowing the government, and it's certainly not sedition.

I also think most people who entered the Capitol building did so because they were just following the people in front of them; not conciously entering to voice their oppinions to the Senate and House.

I'm starting to believe down-voting has gotten more useless and should be removed. Perhaps up-voting is sufficient, but maybe not.

I agree. The article came across as a programmer griping about Excel and VBA, while praising his/her favorite tooling as the answer to some programmer-centric greivances.

I don't think what he described is captured at all by the third "tribe." He clearly does it for money and there should be a fourth "tribe" for that category. I agree with you that "tribe" is a poor choice here.

Semicolons aren't noise; you've read the statement before you even get to them so how can they be noise? Noise would be type info added to languages that didn't have it before, such as TypeScript. Generics can get pretty gnarley too, when you have nested typing info involved.

I've never seen people produce crap code because they don't care; it's always a lack of education, a last minute fix, or it's just declared crap code because it doesn't meet the reader's threshold for maintainable code, which is very subjective.
