> No, this doesn't apply to every other situation involving officials and emergencies and the public.

Who said that? Me? Stop virtue signaling and politicizing disasters, that's how people die. Drawing a line in the sand only urges people to take sides and make dangerous and extreme choices.

When bad shit happens, keep calm, use some common sense and think ahead, work as a community, that's all.

He is smart maybe he should try and start an business or something.. I mean he isn't working for sustenance here, he is still a dependent. At least that is what I would do.

Sure, but can you do it well? I can read the English dictionary in the same time, but that won't make me a master at the language. Part of the job is not making a solution but the best solution according to the work order. This imo only comes with experience working in teams.

Maybe what you said is all true and you work with a crap code mill, in that case move on and fins a better job for your own sake... If it's not true... your hubris is going to bite you in the ass.

> those leaders will look at what this 14 year old has achieved and hold other people to higher

Not going to happen. On average people are performing to their abilities. We work to live not live to work. I like my job, and I care about my product, but I have a family with 2 young boys, and I rather focus on them then working harder.

How old are you? Your sentiment is not uncommon among the interns. Prios change as you learn and age.

But he is a child, even tho he is out of school he likely still needs to develop socially. I'm betting he worked is ass of in school... i.e. there is likely improvement in soft skills
