OT: Why did you feel the need to add this disclaimer? Isn't it assumed that there are always exceptions anytime somebody makes a statement on the macro level? I don't think anybody would mistake "JS devs" for "Every single last individual JS dev".
- meheleventyone 7y agoI don’t think that is a general assumption. Particularly when the generality is made not as a statement of fact but of opinion and in a disparaging manner.
- ScottFree 7y agoAre you telling me when somebody says "Programmers make the web", you can't infer from context that they're not talking about all programmers?
- meheleventyone 7y agoOf course but that is a substantially different statement than “I automatically assume JavaScript developers to be completely oblivious to this entire class of software development knowledge.“ Programmers make the web is a true statement of fact it’s just that it’s a subset of programmers that do it. The OPs statement is a lazy opinion about JavaScript developers in general unambiguously applied. So I welcome their later amendement.
