>I wonder if average programmers know anything outside programming. I don't think I qualify as your average programmer, but here's the thing; people who only know one discipline tend to look at the rest with contempt, or to neglect it, mostly because they have no idea of what it takes to achieve outside of their field of expertise. And it also applies to programmers, but not only. I could name combat sports, judokas thinking judo is the best and the rest is inferior (less nowadays with mma, but it's been that way for a long time) same for boxers, same for karatekas. You've medics or scientists too, they pretty much all believe their discipline is the center of the universe But yeah, humanly speaking, a programmer who knows nothing outside programming is pretty cringe, especially when it's mixed with a massive dose of arrogance, which isn't very rare Graphic designers who know nothing about coding can be just as cringe too, like, it's all about their graphics and the rest is just a mere accommodation. And you have the programmer who thinks exactly the same thing, except for him shit's all about his code and the rest is just mere accommodation... I know both worlds, I know how shitty people can be on one side of the fence or the other You have the marketing guys too... Again, it just betrays their ignorance in the end, nothing's easy nothing falls from the sky when it comes to getting shits done, no matter what's the field there are dozens of ways of doing things the wrong way to begin with, even for something like piercing holes, it sounds simple but there's actually a "savoir faire"/"how to" to know; you never pierce only one hole, it's always minimum 2. Pre-piercing and piercing. You don't know that you have 70% chances to pierce sideways So yeah blockchain, idk, I'm not coding that at the moment But what I can tell is that this statement: >it's a good way to create a safe society by decentralizing government. Sounds pretty naive to me...
