One of my least favorite things about programming is the amount of celebrity culture that's around. Just because someone was credited with a feat does not mean they have better insights than most. It just means they got credit for it.

Not everyone likes their fame tho. I trust people who are aware, and cautious about it. However, some people are aware and love to throw their weight around. That's dangerous. Despite the appeal of having these famous folks in your community, it will probably come back to bite.

Q: Did something happen Yosh? A: I read a thread where people were making authoritative arguments, and now I'm mad again at celebrity culture.

Also I'm very well aware that celebrity culture has very much benefited me. Not that I'm like famous or anything, but in certain circles I do get recognized occasionally. But it doesn't mean it's not a structural problem for the industry, and something we need to keep working on
