Have you ever read some of the awfully bad advice and "you must do" posts in computing, data science and machine learning? I have there are thousands of them, they're probably more damaging but they'll never get taken down because they look legitimate. Just as bad as some questionable psychology posts which are just basically snake oil. At least I was blatantly obvious this was humour. Should I write "Parody Alert!" in bold I wonder?
The industry takes itself so seriously it's actually quite concerning, and in my thirty-three year career I've learned one essential skill, don't take yourself too seriously, you will get ill if you do.
So if Medium's editorial team give me a wrap over the knuckles, I bet they all watched Silicon Valley on HBO and laughed at it, nodding their heads in agreement. Therefore it will feel very hypocritical.
Ultimately the choice was yours, a coin flip. And it landed on heads and you read it and told me your thoughts, so thank you, bless you and have a great day.
