Making decent coffee is hard enough that we still don't have an IoT coffee pot that costs less than $1400. My old roommate was literally a barista, now she's a developer
First off, exactly why the fuck would you want an IoT coffee pot? Who the hell is enough of an Internet-enabled coffee snob that they need to be able to trigger some machine sequence of roasting, grinding, and brewing from their smartphone while still in bed?
Second off, good for her old roommate, but the title "developer" is pretty nebulous, and we all know that SJWs in tech like to extend the definitions of terms. Apparently writing a "game" in TWINE counts as being a "game developer" (as we've all seen certain people use as their springboard). Hell, last I knew all Randi's credits as a "developer" amounted to were a couple minor commits to an inconsequential part of something in Linux, and it's debatable as to whether the work she submitted was even her own.
I mean, let's face it - you can put your boots in the oven, but that doesn't make them biscuits, and in the same manner you can put a barista in the dev bullpen but that doesn't mean that their code is going to amount to a hill of beans. Some people are cut out for tech, and some people aren't. Trouble is, they keep trying to force diversity bullshit into it over actual knowledge and merit-based hiring practices - and that's how you end up with inferior products that sink companies.
