+…and i¦ve been amazed at how people will, with no fear of repercussions, just out and say the most batshit things (from a technical perspective) and sign it with their full name and employer and forward it to the whole mailing list.
+
+Probably the single greatest argument in favour of software work being any form of “engineering” is that you can’t just say blatantly wrong, infeasible, or uninformed shit in a professional capacity these days and have it be treated as mere “academic disagreement”.
+
+On the one hand, i wonder if the internet making the whole of our professional lives, for those of us that work in the open, searchable and accessible hasn¦t magnified the reputational penalties of being wrong and stifled learning, growth, and innovation.
+
+On the other hand, i want some·one technically‐minded to go thru the professional output of todays “tech greats” and see what batshit things THEY have said above a signature of their full name and institution. For certain figures i wish the reputational penalties were greater.
