"Anyone with "software engineer", "developer", or "programmer" in their job title should be given full benefit of the doubt"
No one gets the benefit of the doubt, and certainly not programmers. You get more leeway with what we'll allow, but not free reign. Most programmers aren't HN level.
- neerd 3y ago> Most programmers aren't HN level Oh boy, the self importance here is hilarious
- the_only_law 3y agoIt’s one of the defining cultural cornerstones here.
- burnte 3y agoI'm not a programmer at all, my yearly code output these days can be expressed in double digit hours, and very small ones. I assure you, I do not think of myself as a programmer much less a top tier one.
- danaris 3y agoAh, yes; because there's a programming skill test we all had to pass to be allowed to post here...
- graypegg 3y agoYeah, I get it, it’s easy to poke at that phrasing. There’s also a reading of that response where they mean “HN level” like “as confident as the replied-to comment author”. Could even be a bit sarcastic.
- burnte 3y agoI wasn't being sarcastic, but with me it was a good guess. :D
- burnte 3y agoNo, but there is a curiosity test, you have to find the place; and then once you're here you have to understand things in order to find value and come back.
