Sheds Light

I have delayed my deployment of my media commercialization for a while for an unexpected tangent, and it's cost me a month. But like just yesterday it occurred to me that there should have already been somebody else just trying to do it themselves, assuming other companies are worth the jack in their crack. You must innovate. You must keep up, and you must innovate. Period. Where are all my competitors? What are they busy doing? It's a great idea, but it's doable. So it's a surprise to me that there's like no working talent in the corporate arena. That's just crazy. It seems the only people who can do anything are the script kiddies that post comments on the open source websites. Nobody else can program. And here I see the capitalists making the only mistake they know how to make. They pressure their performers by cutting budgets. Ooh dumb idea. Given, capitalists don't know how to do anything else. Greed is their only instrument of power utilization. They can't exactly fund their own software, because those morons can barely turn the computer on.

Given the sheer amount of money in just that one delayed idea, somebody should have hit it already. Just how stupid is corporate tech? I imagine I could procrastinate all year with tangents and still no one would come and hit it. Tech is the wrong industry if you're a moron, and it appears I'm surrounded by them. I was employed by Superlative, which is supposed to be good in tech. Those guys are fools. The rest of their "competitors" were way worse. When turning in work, part of my assignment was that I looked at their things to comment on the competitiveness of my work as opposed to that of the rest of the industry. I'll say that nobody else seemed to write their own queries. It seemed automated, as if it's the same query every single time, auto-generated. At least Superlative had their custom SQL queries.

I got news for students: a college degree don't make you no programmer. And when something new comes along, what's your job? Do you study it like you're supposed to? Being a programmer has nothing to do with university sheepskin. So corporate hires their friends and family, bestow all the big money to them, and then have like nothing left to hire people who can actually do the work. And these are few and far between.

A whole lotta tech companies goin' on, but not a whole lotta tech!
