What's funny about EdTech is just how awful some of the software is that has funding. Especially the LMS/SIS side of things.

Assuming you are from the United States, if we jailed people for being uncivilized we'd end up with at least another 60 million people in jail.

Regarding the harassment stories and Kathy Sierra, I think they took their trolling too far. I don't think they made specific direct threats on her life, but rather said things like "I wish XYZ happened to Kathy" and photoshopped up some tasteless images. I might be a bit hazy on it, since it was quite awhile ago.

I was a fan of Kathy's blogging, so I was bummed when she took her ball and went home. I still don't think they should have thrown the trolls in jail, unless they were making specific death threats towards her.

How do we know it's not an increased sense of entitlement rather than a reduction of willpower?

What exactly does he deserve to be in jail for?

I'm more interested in programmers who are into passive income. Too many passive income message boards are filled with mlm scams, 1 page sales ads for ebooks, etc.

I'm not talking about comparing yourself to others as far as money or status. I'm talking simply on an individual level. For example, if you're a programmer you might compare yourself to John Carmack, Linus Torvalds, etc. Even on a more realistic level, a new/jr programmer might compare himself to the senior person in his group and think "Wow, I'll never be that good".

I totally agree with "If I don't make things as good as I can, why do them at all?" as I've thought along the same lines.

Men feel this way as well, it's pretty normal especially if you have high expectations of yourself and high opinions of people in your field. When I originally read about it, it didn't even mention women. Of course the word "syndrome" wasn't attached to it either....
