I think it is deeper than that. It trascends indentity politics.
I can think of many labels to apply to my school time. "Jail" is one. "Cult to Mediocrity" is another. See, the problem is that back in the 90s it was parents who were ok having mediocre kids who achieved mediocre results. With no preasure from home to become anything better, the small percentage of nerds who wanted to at least try was frowned upon from both their classmates and the teachers. I mean, if you are a lazy bumass, if the guy next seat is trying to get his homework done within schedule, he is somehow highlighting you are not, right?
And the problem there is parents trained their children to not give a flying fuck back then, and these children are now adults who don't give a flying fuck today. Therefore you have computer scientists in charge of development teams who don't know how git branches are merged because they don't give a flying fuck.
I don't consider myself very good at anything I do, but seriously, last time I was at a selection process for a job they took a bunch of candidates and put us to the test for half a month. First task they asked from us candidates was to set a Git repository. By the end of the selection process only 2 of us had created a repository with commits in it. The rest were sitting on their lazy asses because nobody gave a flying fuck about Git.
Man, I can't believe I am a grumpy old grandpa already. I am not even 40 yet.
