You have built up a terrifying straw man based on a video you admit you didn't even watch.
You're right that we should put less emotional stake in our code--the video actually lays some healthy ways to do this.
More generally, it's important that we recognize that people have emotions, otherwise it makes it easy and convenient for us to treat them like shit. (hint hint)
- bjt2n3904 5y agoI've been reading things the "inclusivity" crowd writes for some time. There's nothing really new in anything that's said, it's all the same. They promise a better, kinder, more "inclusive" world. They deliver "cancel culture", and self censorship under fear of public struggle sessions. No thank you. If it's truly a choice between "psychologically safe cubicles with padded walls" and caustic code reviews where people trash every line of code I've ever written -- I'll take the latter.
