in reply to Jaron Lanier is a Schmuck
I'm stating the obvious, but Mr. Lanier has to make bold
statements like that to sell himself and get to stay k001.
Maybe I should go take an anti-cynical pill
However, I think the point that can be gotten is that we have programmers fresh out of school doing the majority of program design while the experienced ones are being managers. And being management these days seems to be mainly political battles. Why do it then, $$$ or power. And good programmers rarely make good managers. So the shame is not in Computer Science, but the way business is set up now. If it doesn't produce a press release, it's not worth the effort.
