Uggghhhh, the entitlement of well paid and under qualified developers is loathsome. To everybody else who doesn’t share that entitlement it looks like gross ethnocentricity.

Look, if you want all your crying and personal opinions to actually mean something start someplace rational. Start by asking (demanding) for a uniform of code of ethics. Every other professional industry has this, but not software.

Didn't realize that all value judgements were ethnocentrism. Thanks for letting me know! Let's all just slave for the borg, after all, it's not my fault the money is so good.

Or, y'know, you might not know what that word means at all.

Probably because you never asked. It would be strange to alienate people in your profession with a protest action and then expect them to whisper loving notions in your ear, much less from people not in your profession who don't care about your silly little opinions.
