MODERATORS
Did my best with #3 but I continue to suspect most of the people in these fediverses are very young and therefore inexperienced.
I've stated an opinion that aligns with what I've read in the hacker news discussion and the responses are aggressive.
Cargo cult is strong here. No discussions will form while the ditto heads carry the majority.
I'm 45 years old with over 20 years of IT experience. I felt I've been very reasonable in my responses. Meanwhile, you've accused me of "making shit up", and dismissed someone with experience in machine learning with a background in algorithms and high performance computing as "not a software engineer".
You're not being controversial, you're just being a troll.
You feel dismissed, I say classified.
IT experience is not equivalent to software developer experience.
Machine learning and running high performance are hand in hand.
But machine learning is not software engineering, it tool usage. It's not the same job title.
I do know why you are taking this comment personally since it wasn't even directed at you but the other responses.
I assume you meant that you don't know why, but it's because you're not arguing in good faith. You dismiss anyone that disagrees as being young and inexperienced, you accused someone of being a bot simply because they wrote 3 small paragraphs in a 12 minute period, and now you've dismissed all experience if it's not a specific type of software development role.
As soon as its apparent that someone isn't just blindly accepting your arguments, you go straight to ad hominem. If you can't form an argument without resorting to insults, you've already lost...
You at not point attempt to refute any of my points.
You want to feel attacked, nothing I can do about that.
I wasn't dismissing you but I will now.
