Too many lords, not enough stewards

Too many lords, not enough stewards

Parent article: Too many lords, not enough stewards

Having watched Daniel's talk in person, I fail to see how "1200 of your colleagues are power-hungry monsters extracting personal benefit to their career from sadistic and controlling behavior" is an even remotely accurate description of the content; you clearly have had a strong emotional reaction (strong enough that you and the person I replied to appear to be following people around other social media sites to vent your anger!).

And given my career has been spent poking computers in newspapers and finance, I'm very used to people making sweeping generalisations. Why would I take it to heart, unless I thought they were fair and accurate?

I'm not sure what you are referring to, and therefore I cannot answer your questions. Sorry.

Maybe too many won't read the article in detail or watch the video, and come away with that generalization in mind?

Quite possibly not, but it would be nice to think LWN commenters can manage more than the average reddit user by way of reading the material before commenting on it!
