Please Don't Become Anything, Especially Not a Programmer (2012)

> These resentful programmers also hate that the new kids seem to be skipping all of their favourite indoctrinations.

Those indoctrinations are the derivation of the general wisdom of software engineering. Being green, not taking time to learn things properly reminds me to the London flats where everything is just hack on hack, electricity, plumbing, furnitures included. Then everything is inconvenient and broken 10x often than it should be, because someone didn't invest time learning things properly.

It is not about the resistance to change. It is about to learn what is the state-of-the-art now and why it is to avoid to commit mistakes of the past and harm others.
