Why I Code/Admin

Journal by The Mighty Buzzard

I just spent all day running AC duct in the New Debar Fellowship Hall (what I've decided the remodeled church shall unofficially be named) with another day of it to look forward to tomorrow. That's what I did shortly before I got on at a computer repair shop/ISP back in the late 90s. I now completely remember why I enjoy sitting on my ass and poking at a keyboard.

    News flash for you in fantasyland. Here in reality every coding job is already outsourced to India except all unpaid open source work. And you are absolutely wrong about wealth creation. American open source development certainly does create wealth but it does not create any wealth for the people who do the work. The wealth goes entirely to billion dollar corporations who exploit naive fools dumb enough to work for free with the unrealistic expectation of paid work someday in an economy where every job in their field is outsourced.

    SoylentNews is a volunteer operation paid for by donations. It cannot afford real Indian coders so it needs to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find the most incompetent American code monkey who is still willing to bang on a keyboard: Buzzard.
