@Andrev@types.pl @vie@hachyderm.io I like this analogy a lot. Someone else told me about being a poet vs a journalist and although journalists have screw it up the last decades I thought it was unfair to journalism. Anyways, it also reminded me of my experience in university. I was a bad architecture student, but I was fascinated by theoretical subjects, my classmates that were good at it often didn’t care that much about the theoretical aspect and wanted to shorten the career by removing them from the curriculum. We had a discussion once when they said «this is not useful for work» and I was like «I’m such a privileged bitch that I never considered working, I can solve that later». I had a romantic idea of what university was, as well as of programming. Is nice to know I’m not the only one, but I don’t just wanna carry the feeling. I feel like we can still do something

    @RosaCtrl@social.vivaldi.net @Andrev@types.pl @vie@hachyderm.io Remind yourself that if not for people like you, they would not be at this place. And that’s not a negative: Someone has to push things forward to prevent stagnation. But it really fucking sucks when it’s not acknowledged, recognized, and rewarded.
