Offensive? Why?

• jacobgorm 3y ago
  The way it often is used as a politically correct way of saying "grunt programmer", as opposed to PhD-wielding "expert". Why not just C++ "programmers" instead of C++ "practitioners" in the case of this article? I'm a PhD in CS who writes C++ all day long, and I think of myself neither as an "expert" or as a "practitioner", but as a programmer.

    Thanks for the reply. I had no idea people used practitioner in a derogatory way. If anything I thought it was a little hoity-toity , so that’s good to know :)
