> I wouldn't say that coders as an industry are destroying the road behind us

I agree, in fact I would argue the total opposite. Has any industry/skill group in history put so much effort in to getting more people involved than the software industry has?



I’m not sure it supports the point you’re rebutting, but my immediate thought was the military. The draft, shooting deserters, press-gangs, etc.


Hah possibly a different definition of "getting involved" than intended! Upvoted.


Miserable attempts at getting a bunch of POC to participate in a majorly male dominated industry to get a sign-on bonus is barely effort. The very fact that unionization is a bad word in much of the software industry is proof of how selfish most of us are.
