"STEMlord
...a pejorative term for a particular kind of person who has studied in these areas at university or works in these fields who holds a pretentious, condescending attitude to anyone who has studied in any other fields, particularly the Arts and Humanities. They typically believe themselves to be more "intelligent" and "rational", while generally remaining incredibly ignorant outside of their areas of expertise and having the charisma of a rotting pig's backside."
- raxxorrax 5y agoComputer science is extremely vertical field of study these days. At first it wasn't even seen as higher education and was often combined with other fields. Philosophy was a popular choice. That said, I think while amost everybody knows someone like that, I believe that it is often the opposite and many devs should be enouraged to be a bit more forthcomming. I think the "disease" is common in fresh graduents of university in general.
