I'm not in favor of pulling the ladder up behind me to screw over future programmers and benefit myself.

You're not in favor of sarcasm either. It's the more fun way of demonstrating the danger of professional bodies.

Then my friendly advice is to add an "/s" after your comment so that you leave no doubt about the interpretation.

Sorry about that. Although I'm worried about the number of opinions I see on HN that are literally the sarcastic ones you expressed.
