is this about rfk saying tylenol causes autism
Yes, but I don’t know whether OOP is filtering for or against tylenol.
probably for, people generally don’t post things that overtly ableist in this sub
Yeah see this is why I just list my job title. I don’t know any NT who stay software engineers very long once a management position opens up.
“Hey Sam, you like writing code and are good at it! So good at it, we decided to give you an opportunity: how about you spend your time talking to people instead, huh?”
My mother turned down at least one management offer saying something on that note.
“I like working with software. I don’t like working with people.”
I asked my mother the same when I was a kid (why did you not become a boss), and she said she did not want to. Once I started working, I understood and agree 100%.
There’s a reason every major software developer has separate career tracks from engineer to senior/principal/architect or manager.
It’s extremely costly to Peter principal your brightest engineers.
I mean, I’ve turned down management positions to stay in my software role. Been doing that for more than a decade. The one time they put me in charge of an intern, it was a mess. And I’m not… I’m…
Hold on, gotta get a diagnosis quick…
I’ve been in management positions a couple times and my managers didn’t like that I basically let my direct reports do their jobs without me interrupting them and having meetings all the time.
Now I avoid management because it’s a pain running a non-hierarchical organization inside a hierarchical one.
Let’s just say she took a lot. ;)
Me, an uncultured swine, would reply with “I dunno? I don’t think she’d remember if I asked her” - I wonder what would be her reaction
where did her husband go? did they take him to the autism camps?
