We are a spectrum of jobs, not just one
Ghetto-izing code reuse in programming as “VendorOps” and associating it with the Peter Principle seems like a great way to discourage code reuse and reward people who would rather rewrite code unnecessarily than read someone else’s existing code (notoriously hard). Do you really want to make it a badge of honor to reinvent the wheel?<p>I also would venture this will further marginalize people in tech who are already marginalized. There’s enough hierarchy in programming already (and not particularly correlated with skill). IMO!<p>Also: the position (my summary) “People who disagree with my last blog post don’t REALLY know how to program and are covering up insecurity over their own incompetence” is an awfully convenient one to take. Maybe this is not as objective an assessment as it could be.
