Whiners that Fail 166

Posted by Uncle Bob Sat, 28 Feb 2009 00:55:40 GMT

The acronym is not accidental.

Recently, Michael Feathers posted a hugely valuable blog entitled: 10 Papers every Programmer should read at least twice. Do you have any idea how valuable this is? Michael has read hundreds, if not thousands, of papers, and he is freely offering his opinion about which ten are the best. A wise man would pay thousands of dollars for this information. But some people prefer to whine.

Get a load of this gem posted by someone named David:

... you should have actual pdfs of these papers, not links that require you to pay. If these papers were truly important, then you would be able to read them without paying … your tone is arrogant and annoying. Get over yourself.

Clearly this is a troll. Normally I do not feed the trolls. But this one pushed my buttons (I know, I know, that’s the intent of a troll—well it worked.) But it wasn’t only this response. Here’s another one by someone named Mik:

Thanks for the list, but please don’t link to ACM portal, it is a pay site. Always link to a free version if it is available. Yes, these papers are worth spending a minute or two searching for a free version, and yes they are probably worth spending real money to read as well, but if a free version exists, save us all the time and money and link to it.

One small moment for an author, or one giant waste of time for mankind.

What a bunch of whiners!

Here is this golden nugget laid in front of them, and they complain that it’s too heavy to pick up. Fools! Losers!

I’m sorry for the anger, but the attitude makes me crazy. Are we professionals who stand on our own and take responsibility for our careers? Or are we children who expect our parents to wipe our bums?

I know I’m preaching to the choir. The people who take the time to read this blog don’t generally need to be told this. But on the off-chance that this might actually reach someone and change their attitude…here goes.

YOU, and NO    ONE    ELSE, is responsible for your career. Your employer is not responsible for it. You should not depend on your employer to advance your career. You should not depend on your employer to buy you books, it’s great if they do, but it’s not really their responsibility. If they won’t buy them, YOU buy them! It’s not your employers responsibility to teach you a new language. It’s great if they send you to a training course, but if they don’t YOU teach the language to your self!

I fear greatly that our culture of entitlement has created a bunch of whining sissy programmers who think it’s unfair that they have to pay for a copyrighted article. (Pay? Who me? That’s my employer’s job! That’s my teacher’s job! That’s Michael Feathers’ job! I mean if they want me to be a good programmer then they’d better not expect ME to pay for these articles! They’d better not expect ME to do a google search for an article! They’d better come right over here to my cubicle between 9am and 10am and read the article to me while stroking my hair!)

The world does not owe you a living. Your employer does not owe you a career. And Michael Feathers’ does not owe you access to free articles.

    Good point, Bob.

    I had this discussion today when my employer asked me why I would want to buy my own books after telling him it was a “personal policy”.

    I am in charge of my own development, I blame no-one else for problems in it and part of that is buying books. And besides, if I leave, I’m in no way obliged to leave them behind.

    Hehe this reminds me of some of the alternate title of your last podcast with Scott: http://www.hanselminutes.com/default.aspx?showID=168

    But yes it is impressive how little people will do to learn. If I look at how many college’s are coming to our Free + Free Pizza NNUG presentations than that is just said. I mean you get free pizza and learn something.

    Same applies to reading blogs (which are also free) I keep sending around interesting articles and I am pretty sure only 5% of the people actually reads them. They don’t have to read them all, but most are actually on the topics that they are working in. Said again.

    There are always people that expect to improve by doing nothing, but the sheer amount of those people in our business is freighting.

    Keep up the good articles and all that, I use them to learn new stuff. Thanks!

    I am a strong believer in the power of knowledge sharing. Think about it: we have been sharing knowledge from the beginning of times.

    The power of sharing knowledge has enabled us to evolve beyond our own boundaries and beyond our own individualities.

    However, no matter the quality of your content there will always be someone that finds your content boring…

    Even if Jesus Christ wrote a blog… there will always be someone that would say: “Man you only write about God! Write about something cool!”

    Rock on! Great rebuttal. I think Sarah Palin wants to know what’s the difference between you on a blog like this and a pitbull with a keyboard and reading glasses?

    Seriously, maybe we can we learn from Ayn Rand’s philosophy of objectivism – Producers create / Looters take. The world of software development is littered with looters like the trolls that responded to Michael’s blog. Michael is a producer not a looter. Probably about everyone that read’s your blog is a producer, not a looter also.

    While I agree that people should be responsible for their own development should their employers fail to help out, I also believe that too many employers fail to invest in their employees.

    If you look at the best practices amongst the leaders in a variety of fields, you will find that the most successful companies have programs to invest in their employees and see significant returns when they do so.

    You know, I’m absolutely not a right-wing fundamentalist. However, I find the responses to Michael’s blog utterly insulting even to this centrist’s sensibilities.

    Bob, I can’t help but chip in my two cents here: RIGHT **‘in ON!

    People need to start thinking more like owners. Yes, they’re hired as employees, but realistically speaking, they’re offering a service in exchange for revenue. As soon as people connect that concept with how a business operates (offering a service or product in exchange for revenue), one quickly realizes that a whole company’s worth of employees can be replaced by an equal number of sole proprietorships which cooperate with each other on contractual or gentlemen’s agreement basis.

    In my experience, the only distinction between an employee and an owner is that the former thinks of himself as a victim when he doesn’t get what he wants, while the latter finds an alternative route to get what he wants.

    To this end, therefore, any corporate owner will obviously take whatever steps are necessary to ensure the competitiveness of the company. This includes purchasing materials, and if unaffordable, proactively seeking alternatives, which can give a competitive edge. Combine that realization with the realization that you are your own company’s owner, and suddenly, the onus to read papers (surprise!) falls on you.

    Also, who gives a rat’s * about the $10 it takes to pay for a single ACM article? Consider the benefit said article can bring down the road. If you can find it for less, be our guest, but $10 isn’t asking too much for high quality research. Most “victims” blow $10 easily on cigarettes, at the movies, or at the gas pump. In all three of the latter cases, once you’ve exhausted your new possession, it’s gone forever. With the ACM paper, you have a print-out and/or the downloaded PDF, allowing you to do whatever you want with it, for as long as the binary image remains intact.

    Want to recoup your costs? Print it out 10 times, and charge $2/copy. You’ve made $10 profit that way, and hardly anyone would notice.

    I think part of the disconnect is that in this day and age with bloggers, podcasts, etc. information is constantly at our fingertips. We assume all of this information is quality, but that’s not necessarily the case. Whiners are missing that articles published in academic journals are peer reviewed and have a much higher chance of actually containing substantial information.

    But in all seriousness: I cannot understand how you can call yourself a professional in our field and not have either a subscription to ACM (alternatively, IEEE).

    Pretty much any search for papers stumbles upon that portal – after a while one would expect people to get the hint that it’s an important resource…

    What amazes me is that no one took the time to find 10 free links and post them as a comment to Michael’s post. When slashdot links to a pay site, the first post is always a link to a free copy. Perhaps, as blogs get popular, we need a karma system so that people are motivated to do something like that.

    I totally agree with your article, btw.

    Well, it’s a funny thing about this. When I typed up the list in a tumblr blog, I thought “Gee, people will want links.” But, then I thought “Nah, it’s easy enough to google them” so I wrote up the list and pointed to it from Twitter.

    I received many replies of thanks from my tweeps. And I thought “well, it would be nice to make a blog about this” so I sat down and started googling links.

    Now, here’s were it gets interesting: some papers were easy to find in relatively public places; others were up on course websites and I thought “Well, it wouldn’t be right to have all of these people hit their servers without asking, and the links will probably be taken down anyway” so I linked to citeseer and ACM and, of course, got a lot of grief about the latter.

    Personally, I think the ACM Digital Library is an incredible resource. All of these papers, however, are available for free. I wouldn’t buy them from ACM, but I am an ACM member, and I’m glad to give them money in other ways. They’ve done some wonderful things over the years.

    The money thing reminds me of something else..

    The other day, I tweeted about a great book which few people know about: ‘Patterns of Software’ by Richard Gabriel. And, again, I thought about providing a link (despite the fact that Google exists, you know) and I came across something interesting. I found that the book wasn’t out of print (although if you looked at resellers you might have thought that, some of them had the book jacked up to $70); it’s on lulu.com with a print price of about $9 and free version for download.

    You know what? I hesitated. The book means a lot to me and I thought “you know, I hope people buy the print copy. Richard deserves more for this. I hope people just pay out of appreciation.” If I ever lost my copy, I would.

    @Mark Way to miss the point… It’s not a “leftist political context”. It’s an entitlement complex, plain and simple.

    As to the question if that information should be available freely, that’s a different discussion. I’m not sure if that’s either leftist or “RMS”, though. It’s a matter of discussing how our tax money can be spent on the one hand (and I think that any conservative should be interested in that too), and how to reward curators on the other hand.

    But keep simplifying the issue to talking points…

    Dissenting voice 1 day later:

    I think it’s unfair to characterise this as purely an “entitlement complex”. Much of the cited research was publicly funded, as indeed are many of the other papers that go out via organisations like the ACM, and in such cases, there is a legitimate expectation that the results should be made freely available to the public. This is a very different position to expecting everything to be made public, regardless of who put all the effort into creating it and where their support came from.

    In any case, it’s all very well saying $20 for a PDF is nothing if you’re an internationally known consultant or senior software engineer with plenty of money, but if you’re going to post under a provocative title as Michael did, you’d better consider the less well-off programmers among your readership as well.

    First, why are comments appearing twice. Really, once is enough.

    Second, my company does have me trained on products they decide to use. It would be silly to mandate the use of certain software tools and then force you to pay your own way for training. If you are hired as a Java programmer, and later the company decides to use .NET, do you really expect your programming staff to go to .NET training on their own dime? I would in no way work for such a company.

    Of course I’m talking about decisions made after you are hired as an employee. You don’t hire a new programming staff for each new project, do you?

    Just my $0.02, but I think your rant is a bit misguided, Bob. Yes, the guy was clearly a pissy little whiner, but nevertheless there’s a decent-sized nugget of truth in what he’s saying:

    I read a TON of tech stuff online every single day, including whatever stories look interesting on Reddit, Hacker News, and Techmeme, numerous papers coming out of academic comp. sci. depts. (and Google Engineering), as well as well over 100 tech blogs (including this one). And I also spend hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars on tech books every year on technologies I need take a deeper dive into. (So this isn’t about money.)

    But honestly, when someone sends me a link to a paper at the ACM site I pretty much just ignore it these days. Yes, I’m sure there’s some very interesting papers there, but there’s also a TON of other interesting tech reading available elsewhere, about 99% of which is available for free. So honestly it’s just not worth it for me to pony up cash for every site that stupidly and arrogantly thinks that their content is better than everyone else’s.

    Frankly, by putting up a pay wall at their site, all the ACM is really accomplishing is guaranteeing their irrelevance to the next generation of engineers, who will eagerly use Reddit, Digg, HackerNews, SlashDot to adequately fill the void.

    As for ACM being a dinosaur – they are fulfilling an excellent role as curator of knowledge. If I need to know about technology, Digg, Hackernews & Slashdot are mostly a bottomless pit of ignorance. Granted, they’ll keep you up on news – but as a knowledge repository, they are severely lacking….

    I prefer to just search in ACMs portal, and get actual relevant results. And I gladly pay $100 a year to get only relevant search results.

    If you must do it for free, Google Scholar is a close second. Citeseer is number three.

    I woke up thinking about this discussion this morning. And I realized I had to disagree. Not about the value of those papers, not about the idea that you should be responsible for your career, but about the implication that employers in general will reward you for seeking that kind of knowledge.

    Yes, I appreciated the blog post about the papers. I believe deep insight is worthwhile and important for programmers. It makes programming much more interesting and satisfying. And those blog comments about not linking to anything that costs money are just ridiculous.

    But, is reading those papers really going to help your career, or is it, to put it bluntly, mostly pearls before swine?

    Uncle Bob, do you seriously believe that most of those who hire and manage programmers care who’s read those papers or even the books about principles, patterns and and all that? That they know the difference between superficial and deep knowledge, between real skill and lip service? Maybe I’m too pessimistic, but I don’t. I’m not sure reading excellent papers and books related to software craftsmanship would reach a realistic top 50 list of learnings that would boost a programmer’s career. At least not without a good marketing strategy to go with it.

    Same applies to reading blogs (which are also free) I keep sending around interesting articles and I am pretty sure only 5% of the people actually reads them. They don’t have to read them all, but most are actually on the topics that they are working in. Said again.

    There are always people that expect to improve by doing nothing, but the sheer amount of those people in our business is freighting. cheap VPS Keep up the good articles and all that, I use them to learn new stuff. Thanks!

    Parkour Training over 2 years later:

    Many people believe parkour looks easy others consider it seems impossibly hard. Whatever you think, Parkour is not comfortable but it is also realizable. Get to Parkour Training and see out more about preparing. With the right attitude and the will to perfect technique, who knows how far you could get. There is no end to amend your parkour ability. There is the possibility of always improving and there is no roadblock to reach when you are ‘finished’, there is constantly a fresh place to train or a another leap to leap.

    Parkour and Freerunning are opposite but not completely. Parkour was disciplined pre-existing to Freerunning by David Belle. It comprises of overleaps and leaps. The deep philosophical system behind parkour is not be controlled by your environment, which most individuals are. They have to pass on narrow designated tracks to get from A to B, but by employing parkour there are no architectural edges and your track is available for you to pick out.

By concentrating on mold “niche markets”, we play a very useful mold maker role from the Far East whenever customers want to develop their new projects. We provide services from A to Z to our customers on a very economic cost and effect basis.
