There’s a difference between being offended and doing nothing versus getting out there and getting things done. The sole reason I started CubicleBuddha.com was to try to heal some major issues of teams that corporate America has forced onto developers. Am I offended at the meme? Absolutely not. It’s super funny. But I am offended at how the meme is used. I am offended at how misperceptions are proliferated by managers and architects that are sticking to the easiest architectural pattern from like 20 years ago: client server. And the sad fact is that the people who are continuing this pattern might not be doing it maliciously— they just might not know that there are alternative patterns. It’s our job to share with them alternative and potentially better ways.
Why are you offended ? If your a good dev you have nothing to feel insecure about, if your not, keep practicing, you have yet to earn your right to be offended
Luke, my concern is for the teams that are unhealthy due to decisions that were out of their control. I am not personally offended, I am offended on behalf of those developers out there who are unhappy and that could be happy. Do me a favor and look up “self organizing teams.” You’ll find that what I am saying is a best practice that’s been recommended for many years.

What has this got to do with being offended over a meme about backend devs who are shit at front end ?
That’s for you to figure out.
