Why isn’t someone using my software product or open source tool?
Is this the new trend?<p>Somebody relatively new to the tech industry who seems to have time to write tons of &quot;expert opinions&quot;?<p>I have seen more and more of these sorts of articles coming on HN, and other tech orentend places on the internet. I am starting to question if coding is the right path for anybody doing tech, and simply skip stratit to being a expert in field that takes decades to master even a small segment.<p>It&#x27;s not every single post. The ones I am talking about are ones where they have worked a hand full of a jobs -- about a year each and yet find themself speaking at conferences and writing grand articles as if they are somehow a proven expert in the topic they are talking&#x2F;writing on, but lack the actual experience to justify their stance.<p>To me, the real experts who have something valuable to say are probably too busy writing code and solving problems. It is not until much later in their career can they even begin to connect the dots of their mistakes and success to be able to talk about them.<p>I think people should be leery of advice given by those with no real track record to support their views and positions.<p>Yes, I know this is a bit of rant, but it seems to me that the industry is starting to look a lot like other industries where a class of people who actually can DO things are getting left at the sidelines while those who only talk about things are being trumpited as superstars and leaders of the industry -- without ever writing any significant amount of code or being a valued team member.<p>Please feel free to correct my thought process on this, I am open to other interpretations of what is going on.
