Do you honestly believe this an appropriate submission?
- dotandimet 16y agoI wasn't sure, coderdude, but after glancing at the guidelines, I don't see any particular way in which it is glaringly inappropriate. The privilege-denying attitude is more prevalent in HN comment threads than programming-language jingoism. It is also far more distasteful. And just as it is more effective to elevate the latter by showing some beautiful code than by arguing at length that (say) Perl is more than write-only line-noise, so I think it is more effective to see our reflexive arguments distilled into a series of cliche slogans plastered over the image of a douche than it is to read a lengthy and well-reasoned rant by an exasperated feminist. So yes, honestly.
