It’s not all bad though!

Oh I’m willing to have a few comments, I should have been more clear. I was just saying I didn’t want this to just keep going indefinitely. Bye!

I don’t intend to have a back and forth with you, I have reason to believe it would be unproductive and frustrating.

Maybe just consider that people have no better recourse to judge a person than their actions, and mitch has done terrible things. His motivations, and whether or not he is “evil” or just generally trying to do the right thing, are irrelevant in the face of his destructive political actions. People aren’t happy that an old man had a seizure, they are happy the old man might not be causing harm much longer.

Not explicitly, no. It’s just a red flag that if you engage with this person it will be unproductive and frustrating.

Conservatives wish death on pretty much all liberal politicians every now and then, sometimes on live television, and no one even bats an eye. A handful of leftist internet comments have “ding dong the witch is dead” vibes and you start clutching your pearls.

Mitch is a shitty traitor.

“both sides” is the fastest giveaway of a bad faith troll lately. At least the unapologetic conservatives don’t pretend to take the moral high ground

The most convincing argument that elon does a lot of cocaine is just listening to him speak in a less formal interview.

BUT! I don’t think he used to be actually smart, just lucky. Too many people assume “succesful” people had to have done something exceptional to earn it, but 99% of extremely wealthy people acquired that extreme wealth through a simple combination of luck and startup capital (which of course they have because they are lucky).

Also how do you not realize how asinine you sound???

“She said she can code in 5 languages! That’s crazy, she probably isn’t a master in all 5 of those languages possibly! That means she is a liar! I’M RIGHT! I’M RIGHT! I’M RIGHT!”

Lmao proof positive that you are just an asshole gatekeeper. Probably sexist too, despite your claim otherwise, since you are so determined to put her down.

I haven’t been coding for any years, I’m not in CS. You being a gatekeeper probably means you think I should’t even be allowed to comment in this thread at all. I do have many people in my life who are in CS and discuss it with them regularly. (I hope you don’t mind how vague I’m being, don’t want too much identifying information)

The original claim in the post was just “can code in”, and you made unnecessary disparaging comments implying she was a liar and inexperienced, just like the assholes in the screenshot, because you got your panties in a twist that anyone DARE claim a skill in something you do without your approval. It then turned into a stupid back and forth where you constantly changed how experienced you expected her to be to meet your criteria.

That kind of behavior pisses me the fuck off. Let people do and enjoy things, don’t gatekeep, and don’t act like you are certain of something just because of what you think is “likely” in your limited worldview.

You still don’t actually have proof she doesn’t know java and C++ but you don’t care, apparently as long as you say it enough that is good enough for you.

I flat out don’t agree that knowing 5 languages is ridiculous. It is your opinion.

I’m only still here because you are being a gatekeeping asshole, and because of your constant abuses of the word “proof”. Just because they aren’t on her stackoverflow doesn’t mean she doesn’t know them. You think it is impossible for her to know 5 programming languages (and constantly redefine “know” in that context) and have claimed so without proof.

You are wasting your own time by “chatting” on lemmy, don’t try to put that shit on me.

Fyi DMs on lemmy don’t have the best privacy. Don’t think of them as private.

But you sure like to make the big claims despite your convenient issue with providing anything to back them up. Maybe don’t act like a rude gatekeeping “expert” if you aren’t even willing to provide credentials.

I never accused you of claiming to be an expert in 5 languages without evidence. I accused you of claiming to be an expert in programming (“…and as an expert in programming I recognize that.”) Without proof. Why does she need proof for her claim and you don’t for yours? Your claim seems bigger, claiming to be an expert in the whole of programming.

No, you claimed that, over and over and over, with no evidence. You linked a video about how people generally become masters at things, argued she (probably) hasn’t put in that amount of time (despite evidence to the contrary), then you made some equally unsubstantiated claims about the exact amount of years it supposedly takes to learn java and c++, and again argued (despite evidence to the contrary) that she hasn’t had to time to learn those either.

I’m just doing to you what you are doing to her. Did it get through? Is it annoying to deal with your own bullshit?

You haven’t proven shit. Just because those two aren’t on her stackoverflow doesn’t mean she doesn’t know them. You really have no concept of how evidence and proof work.

Prove you have been in this field, for even 5 minutes. Where is your stackoverflow page?

But when people showed you she has been programming since she was 12 and absolutely has had the time to put in, you just don’t believe it.
