It says it greatly simplified. As a seasoned cage monkey, not having to deal with all the hardware AND software, no hours lost on trips to data centers, not being on the phone dealing with hard drive and other warranty swaps...
Open laptop, write scripts, debug scripts, lunch, go home.... I'd say it's spot on
Shocked, SHOCKED, that small government, limited regulation Republicans in control of Congress for the last 7 years haven't been all over improving competition in the banking sector.
Wikileaks is controlled by humans who have a pretty dubious track record of seeking truth, when immediate personal benefit is also an option.
Assange is essentially a prisoner of the US. Withholding data regarding other players (does anyone really believe Russia and China are any less hackable?) in order to undermine US is very much in his interests.
Not to say the US isn't deserving some pushback. Just saying there are very specific human interests in play as well.
Here I am working for one poorly run tech company after another, jumping to the next as they die, hoping my salary won't go down as cost of living goes up, dealing with the same kludgy tools and frameworks and short sighted management.
That degree and hard work got me more money. The rest is all the same

Whaaat! Social species make social constructs! Get out.
Is having a romanticized idea as a motivation wrong? We're humans, not robots. Well, maybe you are; it's the Internet.
You undermine your point with the tone deaf point of "social construction". Anything humans take on collectively is a social construct.
Ideally as many voices as possible are considered when they are designed. But our social constructs today don't allow this.
How much of "sit in front of $GADGET not learning Spanish" is due to the social construct of having no vacation time. Or having to work constantly to afford the basics, forget paying for Spanish.
Suggesting there be a limit on who experiences what is also a social construct. Cause reality imposes no such limit. Our society does.
It's a social construct to have 200 diff companies doing data analytics. When those problems can be handled by one group of 200.
Suggesting arbitrary limits on social constructs is ridiculous. Because you don't agree with one is not basis enough to suggest it not be a thing
