i really didn't like the arrogant tone and the misleading content of this article. the author discourages curious people and potential talents with uncertain future self replicating apps that will replace programmers (anyway, aren't this apps made of code as well?) and shows his huge-complicated-6M-lines-of-code to cut enthusiasm once for all, forgetting to describe a process that take years and involves loads of people to end up with so much code in a complex application.

if you want to programm pick something you would like to build and work hard. the author of this article did exactly the same, the difference is that he did it long before you.

they invented pizza there...

this post is truth. i removed myself from linkedin because of the amount of recruiters spam / calls, the most annoying part was the constant incorrect matching of my skills with proposed jobs. (i work with node.js but was getting tons of requests for php and java jobs). the same recruiters didn't stop contacting me even after i found a job (without their help) and stated clearly on my accounts that i was not available anymore. this was super annoying.

at first i put a warning on my linkedin profile, but it didn't decrease the amount of spam.

then i started to threat via email every one using my personal email without any consent (seems like they sell cv database to each other).

i end up closing my linkedin account because i could not stop anymore all this annoying crap from recruiters. i still receive some emails once in a while and i threat them to remove my identity from their db, it seems to work for now.

you cannot compare the success of Yelp, that is for services, people are not services!

and do you really assume school rating system is a correct method?
