I wonder how failure is defined (maybe it’s in the article). Because SW companies don’t really care about making SW work, the only measure of success is selling SW teams to bullshit customers for as long as possible.
Fucking Lord buckethead over there, being a disgrace to the human race as always. Stop fooling around with your damn bucket, some of us are trying to escape the cow matrix.
Very normal and rational reaction to Bibi’s hateful drivel. I prescribe you nothing, come back to my office when you’re in the all caps, three exclamation marks stage.
You’re really getting out of your way to miss my point. The number of professional writers is some orders of magnitude bigger than the number of billionaires, so much so that taking some arbitrary subset of writers of approximately the same size is easily done.
Another counter example (because I’m really nice like that): some contemporary French writers, just from memory:
Annie Ernaux
JMG Le Clezio
Amélie Nothomb
Michel Houellebecq
Erik Orsenna
Virginie Despentes
Patrick Modiano
Christine Angot
Jean Echenoz
Sylvain Tesson
Marie Ndiaye
Virginie Grimaldi
Marc Levy
Alain Finkielkraut
Michel Onfray
Mélissa da Costa
Andrei Making
François Cheng
JC Rufin
Yes I know, it’s not 43, but I could easily go to my local bookshop and find 180 more, and again 43 billionaires is a lot for 70 million inhabitants. In any case the number of 500 writers in the article is laughable.
But that’s not the main point. What gets on my nerves is that the author of the article is cherry picking facts to entertain an idea. I could deliberately try something like “but you know there are more astronauts than true painters” and refute everything opposed to this with No true Scotsman fallacies.
The article proves absolutely nothing and the author makes a mess of logical thinking, while managing to blur what the wider perspective is supposed to be.
GOOD point. And excellent analysis. Until how to combat it. The best way wouldn’t be to unite with other workers, but to WORK HARDER! If you work harder, your boss will end up recognising the virtues of non-communism (word?) and will distribute money to the shareholders. My advice: work harder so your boss will be proud of you! It’s better than money and you can hope to become a shareholder! NICE
