Career Developers are Shitbags

Hey Joe.

Yeah, Reader?

What's a Career Developer?

I'm glad you asked. You see, Reader, a Career Developer learns his trade at a university, a place of books and morbid fascinations with formatting and IDE-friendly code. He then gets by on those learned skills until the end of time. Ask him to work with a new or different technology and he'll vomit up a list of training courses for you to pay for. He turns off development at 5PM each day and has no soul.

Aren't you being a bit harsh, Joe?

On the contrary, Reader, this Career Developer who chose development from a "job potential" point of view and not from an inner passion for programming has actually been scientifically proven to have negative soul which means he must draw from the soul of other developers in order to survive. Literally, another developer working with this developer's code must give some of his soul in order to not delete it all and start from scratch. In addition to this, the Career Developer breeds mediocrity. I'm not 100% on the math but it's something like this:

Factory Worker Mentality over Development Environment by n Challenges equals n-squared Mediocre-Results.

Why n-squared?

Good question. A Career Developer works on a project, another developer comes along, and viola! He simply continues on in the mediocre fashion set forth by the original developer because, hey, who gives a shit? If the client was happy with this garbage, I'll follow suit and get back to Enemy Territory for the rest of the afternoon. Mediocrity-Squared.

Hey, Joe?

Yeah, Reader?

What's a Shitbag?
