The Extinction of the Programming Species
Max Goff writes "Given the recent chatter surrounding the extinction of the U.S. programmer, /. readers might also be interested in a series of articles I recently penned for java.net -- the Blacksmith and the Bookkeeper (part 1, part 2 and part 3) -- in which I posit that the postmodern programmer (the entire sub-species, not just those domiciled in the U.S.) shares much with the
blacksmith of old, and will become just as extinct in relatively short order. It is not due to work visas or outsourcing, but has much more to do with the evolution of work itself."
No I can't see it, and since you use FireFox you shouldn't have to.
Praise the Adblock extension.
cheers
>Vote for Nader only if you want four more years of Bush.
Correct!
Only to explain the Guerilla Marketing from the subject: "WIR sind das Volk"
Was the slogan from us Eastern Germans used to sweep out the regime. Means something like "We are the people" (implying, you have lost all our legitimacy - all legitimacy comes from and belongs to us - we are now taking it in our hands").
Hopefully you in the US will follow our example and make the world a better place.
the stunning thing is that Nader persists in campaigning in the light of this obvious fact. he's being helped by Republicans, and another four years of Dubya will pretty much undo Nader's entire life's work.
sadly, Nader is likely to go down in history as a fool, especially if he turns out to be instrumental again. a visionary fool, yes, but a fool nonetheless.
