- nh23423fefe 4y agoThis place is all culture. People are smart and varied everywhere. But here we try to enforce a culture is that assigns low status to low effort trash. It doesn't always work. But that's the expectation, I don't think anything else could work. Comments should be for the community not to spread low information barnacles on every piece of original thought.
- ant6n 4y agoThis place also suffers from the Dunning-Kruger-Effekt.
- FieryTransition 4y agoI guess you could argue, that most places suffer from that, as everyone has a boundary, at which they don't understand things. But the effect itself, is probably more relevant in an organization, as it was used to describe management.
- dekhn 4y agoThere's a fine line between a Cunning Drueger and Dunning Kruger.
- daniel_reetz 4y agoI want to offer a tempered view. The comment does seem deep and it probably is. But I work in physical prototyping - new products, new technologies. I do the "design and manufacture from real materials in the real world" part. I own a few hundred thousand dollars in advanced machinery and make parts for FAANGs and tiny research startups. I'm a named inventor on something like 16 patents. And yet daily, I read confident, well worded answers here -- about my domain -- which reflect views completely divorced from reality, or in living in some strange parallel reality. Personally, I try to recognize this as an opportunity for me to be humble (as I never know who may read my comments from a higher place of skill and domain knowledge), and also to take what is posted here with a grain of salt.
