I'm implying that people with that attitude have no ethics and that professional ethics should be taught for software engineering just as they are for other engineering fields. Why that's so controversial to you is curious to me.

I'm not implying "there should be a return to the time when developers knew more than they do now." I'm stating that's a fact. The industry needs improvement.

Why didn't I provide them with that feedback? I did. I also chose to use it as an object lesson. If you agree with them, you're wrong. If you weren't aware slackers like that exist, now you know.

Scrum isn't very agile. The Agile industrial complex is terrible. Neither of them contributed to this problem.

If people are so burned out that they get this triggered over my ranting about people that should find a different line of work, they should vote with their feet.

My goal is to help people improve, not to coddle everyone. People who want to improve have my respect and my undying help. People who only whine aren't my priority. It takes enough energy to help people who want it.
