Obviously, Adam (and the lot of aggravated developers on both sides flinging abuse at one another) was being (not saying is absolutely, always) a little immature in needing validation without the tolerance for criticism my employees at a holistic pet food company I worked for a few years ago as a manager were expected to have for minimum wage jobs putting dog food bags on shelves.
He should spend some time trying to break into development after spending 8 years in completely unrelated fields, pursuing degrees that he discovered led to a lifestyle he knew he would hate and teaching himself computer science while starving and facing constant rejection at every level for no good reason with a lot of suggestions its because he is older when he is only 30 and looks 25. Its been a powerful source of internal growth for me for the last three years....
Its weird to me that everyone has the time and mental energy to squabble back and forth about Adam's hurt feelings and Sara's greedy farming for advertisement revenue (or exposure). Personally, I spend all of my time and excess energy learning new things, working on personal projects and when even that is too much I have plenty to do with my self-education in Linux I can do, thus am exhausted by even the notion of engaging in the furious gossip wars that seem to be perpetual for those who were luckier than I and discovered this calling earlier in life, at an age recruiters respected more. I feel if I were to fall behind in my daily toils, I would be certainly doomed to reach a completely unemployable age like 35 without being selected for elevation out of poverty and rotating Airbnbs. It certainly must be nice to have the time and energy for all this. I hope to one day experience such lofty excess, though I doubt I would allocate that additional energy to such endeavors as this, so help me God.
