i for one can't wait for React to die. I've never liked it and have felt other frameworks far exceeded it, but fell into the same camp as others when determining what framework to start the website with.
That's too bad because I think it's actually quite a good reading experience and I think the web HSA overcorrected away from brutalism so I experience it as refreshing and as a positive signal about authorial intent (focus on content and simplicity of publishing process.)
So maybe I missed the memo but I don't know why this is being parodied.
Let's call this what it is. Any system that short circuits the basic human need for hard work and reward compensation will never be a success. You can sugar coat it and re brand it any way you want to. Humans need that feedback loop of blood, sweat and tears before they receive a 'reward'.
That theory is actually pretty challenged. Makes me want to find time to enhance the wikipedia article, but it would be a lot of work.
Among critiques are that the !Kung San people the study of which is at the basis of this theory _weren't_ actually exclusively (or possibly even primarily) engaging in hunting and gathering as economic activity at the time the anthropologists studied them, but those anthropologists just chose to leave out the wage labor as "atypical". And that the !Kung San at that period of history actually were a regional underclass -- if they didn't work much, that's because they didn't have many options, and is similar to the extremely poor in any society. See Edwin Wilmsen, _Land Filled with Flies: A Political Economy of the Kalahari_
That's just a start.
But anyway, I agree with you that it's ridiculous to think that people can't be happy unless extorted to work for others at threat of starvation.
I love programming. The first ten years of my career I was doing hardware and networking, nothing programming related as I had yet to learn it.
This has been the best career change that I could have ever had.
I've also worked construction for five years. I don't think I'll ever want another job. Probably because I've already been on the other side and I know what life is like there.
Wow, I learned nothing from reading this letter. Note to CEO, if you want people to read your letters, actually have some content, not just your feelings on something vague.
