Which black brush did I use to tarnish developers (out of which I am one)? And where did I say "all developers"?
I think you might be a bit overly sensitive and overreactive (the Mary Sue I was talking about).
- danaris 3y agoI'm sorry; you don't get to say "developers are like this," and then backtrack and say "I didn't use the word "all", so obviously I'm only talking about the bad ones!" That's just one step above "Hey man, why are you so upset about being called bigoted slurs? I'm only joking!" I also think you might need to look up what a Mary Sue actually is[0]. Hint: It's not "someone who reacts poorly to criticism," nor even "someone who wants unrealistic things for themselves." (It also has an extremely loaded and sexist history.)

- ThrowawayR2 3y agoThe word you might be looking for is prima donna rather than Mary Sue. I'd certainly agree that there are quite a few of those in the software industry.
