The question is if developing filesystems attracts a certain kind of people or the act of debugging filesystem issues & being flamed on the kernel mailing list makes people that way.

I figure that folks working on printers have gotta have a much more frustrating experience than FS devs

Just look what happened to RMS when they refused to share the source code to his faulty printer. He’s been on a warpath ever since

Hi, I worked on printer firmware. It was fun! Printers are robots, when you get right down to it.

Now, when they downsized and reorganized and put me on the windows driver team, I left the company within a week.

perhaps the suffering of the printer devs is karmically 'paid back' by the physical suffering of printers around the globe, thus keeping everything in balance.

Maybe the folks that try to use printers are more frustrated that the ones that designed their software.

no, because a broken printer is just a broken a printer. a broken fs is somebody else's important data potentially lost forever.
