Except it is, as that is the single goal of this thread: Find out who is the longest serving Programmer, not the oldest guy doing something with IT. His remark is not wrong in that context.
- JoeAltmaier 6y agoBut it is unnecessary, pedantic and mean. We can all read the programmer/analyst's post for ourselves; we don't need an interpreter.
- newswasboring 6y agoBy that logic we should only have single depth in comments. Everyone is reading every comment for themselves.
- JoeAltmaier 6y agoThe "but they said this" posts add nothing. The thread is unchanged if they are removed. So I advise, don't post them. In addition that unnecessary post asserted personal things not in evidence, giving the most uncharitable interpretation which is actually in direct violation of this site's standards and practices.
- newswasboring 6y agoIt does add something. If there is a direct question, and someone is answering it incorrectly it should be valid to tell them they misunderstood. Also calling someone a non programmer is not mean.
- JoeAltmaier 6y agoNope. Not a charitable interpretation; not necessary by any means to 'correct' what is obviously an anecdotal comment in the same vein as the OP. Not even correct to call the commenter a non-programmer - assuming things not in evidence. A question like "But have you been continuously employed as a programmer?" could be reasonable and not mean-spirited.
