How hustle culture took over advertising
As a professional diesel mechanic, I find most of the points in this article pretty difficult to understand outside the context of, say, Hollywood?  or maybe iPhones?  Do programmers really have to show this kind of reckless drive?  This hasnt been a thing in tradecraft since...forever i dont think...and if it is, its punished pretty severely.<p>An example: if im rebuilding the idler and pitman assembly on a fourteen ton truck, theres no hustle.  there is no competition to do it &quot;the fastest.&quot;  You do it right, because if that assembly fails in a turn you could cause a pretty horrible accident.  Depending on what that professional driver hauls (benzene, chlorine, pesticides, etc...), you might find your &quot;hustle&quot; on the evening news as the police evacuate some poor suburb.<p>If you&#x27;re writing a web application, shouldnt you take care to make sure its secure and well written?  Just because nobody had to pick hair out of a windshield doesnt mean a hacked webapp doesnt ruin just as many lives.
