There are 3 racism in this technology world I have been fighting until today
However, after a decade, they are still there. have you ever seen any?
What does it mean by technology racism?
- “He was a Windows guy and look at how he is using the ugly mouse to navigate the folders.” — Isn’t the mouse invented to be used?
- “He was a support guy for years.” — So what?
- “Look at this legacy code, so ugly, I hope I don’t have to touch it in my life, will dirty my hands.” — do you know this code is generating revenue and our today’s bread and butter are coming from this piece of horse s**t?
- “I wouldn’t say I like Javascript and Python, they are not even static typing. but we are using all these kinds of ugly language” — then why you are here?
- “This legacy code looks so ugly, let’s change everything in this push.” — Do you really understand what the ‘ugly code’ is doing?
- “The 40+ old developer is so slow. I am fresh and can get things done a lot faster than him.” — Are you sure?
- This list can go on and on…
I only pick 3 to discuss, with some stories.
To New technology guru(s)
New technologies are invented to solve problems. before using it or changing anything, you should see the problem(s).
