The only reason this was posted is that the author has a recent technical blog post trending on the main page right now, and it's quite good:

Judging from the disaster that is this thread, it should probably be flagged into the ground before a flamewar starts.

I posted it, with a 90% expectation of it going nowhere, and 10% expectation of a few comments that showed the general viewpoint of a community that I felt has some of better elements of humanity in it.

However what we got was, 80+ comments of basically flame war, and over half telling her to 'get over herself'. :(

So based on that, then yes she's right. This Industry is Fucked[1]. And I am ashamed to be part of it these days.
