Coder's Bill of Rights

Gratuitious nature pic for no good reason other than I love Windows Live WriterJust sticking my head above water long enough to take a breath and to link to some rubbish called the Programmer’s Bill of Rights that Jeff Atwood declares on his blog.

I don't understand this guy.  You let this sort of dangerous propaganda spread and software departments will become much more efficient and be able to build better systems with less money. 

You realize what that means, don't you?  Companies will be able to get more done with less people

For those who lose their jobs because of this, blame Atwood.  Then again, if you’re reading his blog, you're probably not the target audience that would get laid off due to increased efficiency.  Readers of my blog on the other hand ...

Most economists will say you never really remove jobs by becoming more productive, you just create new ones, often with different skill requirements. (Sorry, didn't know if you were serious about your statement.)

I wasn't. I was using sarcasm to make a point of agreement with Atwood. But thanks for the economic point. I happeen to agree with that for the most part.

What do you have to say?
