But it's not an insult towards actual farmers, it's an insult towards an impostor that pretends they're doing valuable work while all they do is the opposite and they merely throw time at a problem, creating illusion of value.
I'm saying this because I'm raised on a farm, I was always proud of it, I still do it as a hobby (and I love my crops) and I never, ever considered it an insult when I heard a term "farmer" or "peasant".
Nowadays, I read about people being offended in my stead, giving themselves the right to insult other people, like author of microwebsockets.
Is there a world in which haters could hate without using excuses such as "it insults farmers"?
I'm one of the farmers, I am not insulted, I do have the right to say this and point the attention at the *real* problem - and it's fake developers.
