      7) If we were near enough for group-level statistical variations in sciencey-ness or whatever to be significant, *no-one would care*.

      8) I don't like the way US libs fight these battles. I worry about their fondness for shallow, authoritarian fixes. They're technocrats too.

      9) In other words, it sometimes looks like a fight between elitist, exclusionary geek culture and elitist, exclusionary US business culture.

      10) I want a better geek culture, not a geek culture gutted by and subordinated to a professional managerial class.

      11) Wanting that, means I have to make some commitment to realising a better geek culture, and not just snipe at the PMC, fun though that is

      12) So, grey tribers, my question to you is: what would a commitment from the "freak" corner to making things better actually look like?

      recognition that programming people and programming for people are hard and we retreat from them because we're bad at them, not superior

      a real push to stop underpaying and undervaluing tech support, bc tech support is the paradigm case of a "people skills job" that matters

      Testers can get a pretty raw deal too - in general we need to dethrone the "genius artist coder" and value the whole ecosystem.

      yeah, coders have totally embraced the Romantic auteur syndrome, it's a weird cultural cross-pollination

          exactly. I find most of UI/UX design unbearably tedious but there's no way around the fact it's indispensible to the quality of the product

          lucky for me there are an excellent UI/UX folks out there who feel exactly the same about the stuff I thrive on
