Fuck praise and recognition, you want more of this type of thing to be done? Pay them. Pay them more.



The average plumber isnt looking for praise - they literally works with shit everyday.

Also is any of this really ever the end workers fault?

Pay a fair wage and people will do the work - but it still has to get organized higher up


Game devs are the lowest paid developers. And, in my experience, the most talented. Something is compelling us to do it beyond money.

This is doubly true of careers in academia.

Conversely, it’s quite smart to be a plumber or builder in Seattle today monetarily.

We play down the role of cultural values in the choices people make.

Very good builders might not exist today because of the lack of social incentive to get them into the right place. They'll work towards making yet another crud app.


AFAIK, plumbers are typically paid more than game devs.
