This guy is all sorts of irony, I've assembled some tweets from the last four days:
- Preaching on how to "win allies" with positivity that he doesn't use https://twitter.com/hhariri/status/1315540900244848640 https://twitter.com/hhariri/status/1315540900244848640
- Antagonistic posting, alluding to that he'd like to call out Linux developers for user experience too https://twitter.com/hhariri/status/1314858276866134016 https://twitter.com/hhariri/status/1314858276866134016
- Bragging about being blocked by people on Twitter https://twitter.com/hhariri/status/1314836556008566784 https://twitter.com/hhariri/status/1314836556008566784
- He admits he's a "lower than average developer" but feels qualified to judge the work of others harshly https://twitter.com/hhariri/status/1314536445781180416 https://twitter.com/hhariri/status/1314536445781180416
- Speaking in the third person https://twitter.com/hhariri/status/1314590552344719360 https://twitter.com/hhariri/status/1314590552344719360
- More venting and antagonism https://twitter.com/hhariri/status/1314591215166291968 https://twitter.com/hhariri/status/1314591215166291968
- Antagonistic rhetoric https://twitter.com/hhariri/status/1314523004655874048 https://twitter.com/hhariri/status/1314523004655874048
- Continuing to preach (this has some interesting, negatively slanted replies) https://twitter.com/hhariri/status/1314179665574211584 https://twitter.com/hhariri/status/1314179665574211584
If you're an engineer on Twitter do yourself a favor and read your tweets as someone who doesn't know you. Getting to know your virtual-self is very important, because people have a tendency to act different online than they do in person. My impression of this guy based on four days of tweets? I'd block him and never use a JetBrains product again just for the sheer loads of entitlement, antagonism, and preachy/venting behavior.
I'm also confused how someone who calls themselves a "lower than average" developer can be a "developer advocate". How are you ever going to empathize with the people you serve and the things they care about if you can't relate to them? This post almost perfectly exemplifies that out-of-touch nature.
