Black Matter Developers
I was listening to a podcast the other day and heard someone reference &quot;black matter developers&quot;. I think this is the original source of the term:<p>http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hanselman.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;DarkMatterDevelopersTheUnseen99.aspx<p>It struck such a chord with me because I started working in a large consulting company a little while ago and almost all of the developers fall into this category. I had noticed that none of them had github accounts, few even had linked in accounts and fewer yet had a personal website&#x2F;portfolio. Listening to a podcast, going to a conference or even following a tech news site are out of the question.<p>I mean, it works for them and that&#x27;s great, but we also get a lot of guys coming out of college. Would it be worth it to try to encourage these people to expand or should I just do my thing and expand my own horizons? Have you guys experienced this as well?
