Comment I'm feeling stigmatized! (Score 1) 237

List of companies I should sue for social stigmatized me: -Ferrari, I have a ' 66 beetle and I feel I'm a looser near a Ferrari. -Armani, makes me feel like a beggar when wearing my 40 bucks suit. -Rolex, my Casio calculator watch, is a piece of garbage near one of them. -Rolls Royce, If I'm a looser near a Ferrari, image what near a RR. -Screaming Eagle, for reminds me I drink anything else that's not wine. -Benetti, I don't have a boat, I have a rubber duck near a Benetti -Ritz Paris, I feel depressed when hosted on that 2 stars cabaret-like sty in Paris. -Mont Blanc, they affirmatively undermine the quality of rival pens so you could have an ecstasy-like experience writing in on MB. My BIC is so inferior, that's sabotage! -Harley Davidson - they affirmatively undermine the quality of rival motorcycles. -Microsoft - MS affirmatively undermines the quality of rivals browser since 1995, OS's, and flight simulator games. They even told me at Windows NT4 launch that Unix days were over! Please help expand this list while I try to fill the paper work.

Yes, companies think they want experts in their fields. But as a developer who has worked in healthcare, construction, retail, education, insurance, genetics, and mortgage, I can confirm that the domain knowledge is the easiest part to learn. In each of those fields, I became an expert in the domain, as part of my job as a software engineer. This is possible because the primary job of an engineer is to figure out how things work, and then figure out how they can work better. It doesn't really matter if what "domain" those things pertain to, the problems to solve are largely the same.

C'mon man, I'm a BSEE which worked with construction for years and don't consider myself an expert in civil or mechanical engineering. I can understand the processes involved in construction, BoM, project manager, supply chain, builders management but there are a lot of other things involved. I can help a lot for sure but far from been an expert. If you said to me I'm an expert in electric engineering, I would say ok just to go ahead and do the project and installation of your own house, without insurance for sure as experts doesn't need that. A software engineer expert in Genetics? you merely scratched the surface, if so. Lack of humble is a big problem in software engineering too.

You can't rely on just one side of the coin. The truth is that nobody really knows what is going on. But one thing I know, Pharma companies are pretty much-making billions right now.
