Sorry what is a soy latte programmer
- rvz 4y agoSurely so-called 'programmers' here should be smart enough to know that the parent comment is talking about everyone here on the orange site. Ironically, you're pretending to be dumber than the 'dumbaccount'; proving their point.
- atomicnumber3 4y agoIt's 4chan gobbledegook that has no place in actual discourse

- DrThunder 4y agoYour comment has nothing to do with his/her point and also has no place in this discussion. You're trying to use an identity attack to dismiss the point.
- alchemist1e9 4y agoOP seems to imply developers that order soy milk for their latte are on average poor developers. I’d find that correlation to be quite unlikely.
- pavlov 4y agoIt's a sexist alt-right meme because they associate soy with estrogen. In this imagined causality, someone who consumes soy milk would be more feminine, and of course women are bad programmers.
- dumbaccount123 4y agoSexist really? seems like you have a preconceived ideas in your head. Stop strawmanning. Also its not that serious.
- alchemist1e9 4y agoCould you try to explain the link to soy milk? When I think of people who order soy milk, I think they are likely to be lactose intolerant, which then I would associate with being less likely to be northern European ancestry, which then I might associate that with likely to be harder working and maybe marginally better developers, so I’d guess the relationship might be opposite to your suggestion. Full disclosure I’m 100% northern European ancestry, 42.75% English, 37.5% Irish, 6.25% Danish. Plenty of hard working developers with similar ancestry to me, neither the less, the stereotype would be Asian developers are harder working, certainly the bosses often think that, to the point that I’ve observed what I would categorize as pro Asian biases. Anyway, I’m guessing soy latte ordering is likely positively correlated to developer performance. Not negatively as you suggest.
- Slighted 4y ago>sexist alt-right meme Don't make me laugh. "Alt-right" is a stupid, nonsensical term made up by news corporations to serve as a convenient boogeyman, and the meme itself isn't sexist in the slightest. Elevated estrogen levels in men ARE detrimental for numerous reasons. This has nothing to do with women, period. Soy is associated with elevated estrogen levels because of phytoestrogens. Whether or not they actually affect the human endocrine system isn't clear, but you can't deny the customers of Soylent products all share... similar traits.
- rvz 4y ago> It's a sexist alt-right meme because they associate soy with estrogen. ??? > In this imagined causality, someone who consumes soy milk would be more feminine, and of course women are bad programmers. You're looking too deep into this. It is you who is implying that.
- kshacker 4y agoAs a reader I did not know but it made me laugh since it tied in with a stereotype I may have had. I can speculate this to be gen X or whatever who is more concerned with the politics of doing work and fringe benefits than doing the work itself.
- dumbaccount123 4y agoBingo, when i say soy latte programmer everyone knows exactly what I mean.
- throwayyy479087 4y agoRiley Rojas/Jay Ersapah at SVB is a perfect example here. That was a real shitstorm - spend a lot of time on DEI/LGBT/ERG issues, spend very little time doing productive work.
- reaperducer 4y agoIt a programmer named Latte introducing himself in Spanish.
- EToS 4y agoApparently, this. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Soydev https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Soydev
- lost_my_pwd 4y agoI think they are referring to this: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Soydev https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Soydev Appears to be a derogatory term that, by diminishing the efforts and abilities of others, is used to make one feel better about one's self.
- Slighted 4y agoA different version of "Soyboy" which itself is based off of the "Nu-Male" meme. Defining traits of a "Nu-Male" include (but are not limited to): - A lack of masculine and mature traits (Excessively self-conscious, weak-willed, a canvas for [Current trends], potentially narcissistic) - Beard-and-glasses aesthetic (Also previously known as the "Hipster" style) - Terminally online and outspoken. Slacktivists - Usually (but not always) "Leftists" with pronouns in their bio, LGBT+, BLM, Etc. - Usually (but not always) white, male, and lives in urban areas (Portland, New York, SF, Etc.) - Tries to come off as more intelligent than they usually are. Lacks perspective of the world at large. And there is no shortage of these kinds of people on social media and in large technology-oriented organizations and corporations.
