You are a disagreeable person. I love working with disagreeable people, but I avoid them after work. On Saturday, I don't feel like being lectured to on how hamburgers are supposed to be cooked. Other guests find it rude to called out on their own occupation.

Some of the funniest/funnest people I know are highly disagreeable. Just because they can be doesn’t mean they always are. What you’re talking about is just basic social skills, but if anything there’s positive correlation between the two.

Huh? GP's comment seemed cogent and well-reasoned. In my universe, that is the opposite of disagreeable.

What part of their comment is disagreeable?

  It was said that the person has the “disagreable” personality trait. Not that the comment itself is disagreeable. (But maybe that’s what you mean by “disagreeable” in this context.)

    It's hard to imagine how one could identify a personality trait from a comment that does not exhibit it.

  "Your problem is being such a punchable face and you can stop being autistic and get 99% of your problem solved instantly" ^ process this in warm peroxide for 15 minutes to obtain an analogue for GP. That said, software engineering had moved away from praising "autism", towards a model of warm and communal, wall-free workplace, over the past decade or so. That had supposedly improved (averaged)throughput, overall productivity, and turned software field into a more mature and modern space. It should be generally a good thing that innocent regular people are less likely to be psychologically, or sometimes physically, harmed engaging in software work. At the same time, it seems that it shifted power held by independent kind dictators to monopolistic corporations amplifying power by herding those people, accelerating techno-feudalism. And as such, maybe it's just me but, I'm not sure "autist go away" attitude is good for the future of computing, and also future of the human society by extension.
