Calling people monkeys is rather abusive
I disagree. "Code monkeys" is a common term used for programmers, and it is not at all derogatory. (If anything, I think it implies a certain level of respect.) "JS monkeys" is simply a derivative form of code monkeys.
- scotth 15y agoNot where I'm from it's not. A code monkey is mindless and interchangeable.
- raganwald 15y agoNobody ever called me a monkey to my face, and I have several JS projects up on Github. I have trouble believing thismismamterm of endearment or respect, especially as it was used here.
- jackpirate 15y agoMaybe it's like nigger. It's okay when I am one and call myself one, but not when someone else who is not one calls you one?
- khafra 15y agoInteresting. I always hit the space bar with my right thumb, too.
- khafra 15y agoThat was in reference to "thismismamterm," which took me several seconds to figure out.
