Software developers are students for life.

My energy levels beg to differ

Pretty much everyone else is too, to some degree.

Why did you steal that from Vlad Mihalcea who posted the exact same thing on LinkedIn and Twitter?

No. Totally wrong.

Absolutely true. Learning is a never ending process. In the case of Software Developers, we continuously need to keep ourselves updated with the current technologies.

This thread is cringe. Also learn to properly tag your posts please.

@iiii could you please elaborate on that? Why not?

@Berkmann18 Even he must have read it from somewhere, we don't discourage stealing thoughts here.

@electrineer hehe... degree... got it ?

And that's precisely why I party all day instead of working

Some of them become scientists and most of them become assembly-line workers though.

@trampfox because a job of software developer is not a fun and dandy "just always learning" work. It includes a lot of grunt work as well.

If someone has it that good, they have been born with a silver spoon in their mouth.

Bulls. I stopped it after I realize I was paid the same.

@junon damn people act high and mighty about software dev. You are clicking keyboard for hours, calm down.

@iiii who says students can't also do work? All the post says is that software devs need to keep learning stuff, which is fairly accurate in general.

@RememberMe that's your interpretation which is different to mine. Student is one who's main occupation is education and not other types of work. A job as a programner is not even near that definition, even though programmers should remain updated about modern programming technologies.

@iiii words can be used with multiple, slightly different meanings and/or interpretations, what a surprise. That doesn't deserve a "no. Totally wrong." without at least further clarification.

From Merriam-Webster, a student is "
1. Scholar, learner;
2. One who studies: an attentive and systematic observer".

2 fits pretty nicely over here.

@RememberMe I did not state your opinion is "wrong". Your defence based on this premise is uncalled.

@iiii I know, I'm not defending anything, I'm questioning your use of an absolute reply aimed at one interpretation without considering the other (common) one. I'm also not attacking you for it or whatever - just pointing out that the other interpretation is pretty well known too. Friendly information. Literally.

@RememberMe my reply is driven by my opinion and interpretation, which I've stated.
"Student" has a specific connotation which does not correspond to a job as a programner.

@rooter offensive. If you just wanted to insult me for having a different opinion, then congratulations, you're a piece of shit.

Anyone want some 🍿?

@electrineer it all ended already. I'm just a bit more sensitive after recently dealing with ultranationalists and their bullshit.

@rooter sorry. My reaction was too harsh.

@rooter no, politics makes me wanting to kill. It's too full of bullshit beyond any hope of repair.
