The Culture of Helping in the Technology Community Why Critical Thinking

Success in technology and software development is based on more than individual ability. Open source projects from stack overflow questions to code review, the basic principle that the community is based on is the** and information sharing. But this culture began to wear over time.

Jeff Atwood’s question “We want to stop helping each other, what we do?” triggers a much deeper reflexion:

• Distribution: Experienced developers are withdrawn instead of guiding young programmers, which slows down the transfer of information in the industry.
• Open source motivation decline: Volunteer contributors, giving them to participate in projects when they don’t see enough appreciation and support. -**: Unanswered questions and negative reactions create an environment that is pulled out of request.
• Activation of communication: In the tendency to monopolyize business information, prefer closed systems instead of open sharing.

Software development is not just writing code, which is also a values system. The way of strengthening the community passes through the understanding of the questions, supporting the new ones of experienced, and the collective celebration of successes. It is impossible to build a sustainable technology ecosystem that allows us to support each other.

For the long-term health of the sector, this culture has become more urgent now.
