The best kind of marketing is when you don’t need to say it aloud by yourself. Yet, this is constantly in HN front page. Maybe engineered or not but marketing regardless.

engineering is worthless unless you can sell it

What a terribly anti-human sentiment to have.

rooted in a long 30+ year reality. you can engineer the greatest, most secure, most accessible, most ____ thing but if it doesn’t sell those amazeballs engineers will be talking to their recruiters…

That's fine but I'll say as a human, that makes you a pretty crappy one. Only caring about monetary rewards is pathetic frankly, luckily the vast majority of humans don't agree with this sentiment and continue pushing the boundaries and our imaginations onward.

I have some programming work for you to do unpaid of course since only caring about monetary rewards is pathetic. But I'm sure you'll be able to feed yourself on exposure right?

Grow up.
