It is a stereotype but y'know he may be talking about the reality in this case rather than just a general stereotype.
That said it's best to avoid it. Bad developers come in every form of humanity.
EDIT: WTF? All I did was try to give OP the benefit of the doubt that maybe he's not a total bigot. I agreed stereotypes are bad and that there are bad developers of every type of person.
Someone who thinks that's down vote worthy, please explain yourself. I'd like to know what's so objectionable about that.
- smt88 10y agoI didn't down vote, but it's worthy of one because you're defending racism. Racist stereotypes aren't insidious and vile because they have no truth to them. Most stereotypes are based on reality, and some even apply to the majority of the stereotyped group. The problem with stereotypes is that you're lumping people together in possibly negative categories only because of their race. That's scientifically unsound and harmful to the individuals who want to (and should be) considered individually without prejudice based on their race.
- ebbv 10y agoThat's the thing though, I'm not defending a stereotype. Re-read my comment. The last thing I do is agree it's best to avoid stereotypes, and that this particular stereotype is wrong anyway because there's bad programmers of all types.
