Having never used an imageboard, I feel qualified to answer this:
1. /i/ is apparently "oekaki" board, which is for drawing -- at least on 4chan. I have no clue how it relates to programming.
2. "skid" is a term the Zoomers use for "script kiddie".
- solardev 2y agoThanks! I'm going to sound really old now, lol, but what is a "Zoomer"? Is that the same thing as Gen Z? Edit: Wikipedia says it is. What a funny term. Wonder if it comes from a play on Boomers or from growing up with Zoom through the pandemic?
- sickofparadox 2y agoIt is a portmanteau of Boomer and Generation Z, though many assume it has to do with zoom, which causes much eye-rolling from Gen Z.
- solardev 2y agoI'm pretty sure our very existence causes much eye-rolling from Gen Z, lol. It was hard enough growing up as a Millennial at the dawn of the internet. I can't imagine what it's like being born into today's world. Our information superhighway seems to have led straight into their digital dystopia.
- runjake 2y agoBoth. But yes, "zoomer" refers to teenager.
- sickofparadox 2y agoOP probably meant /g/ which is the tech board
- sdsd 2y agoActually i was referring to /i/nsurgency aka /i/nvasion, the board where raids are conducted! Eg: leftychan.net/i/ or 711chan.wtf/i/
- sdsd 2y agoYour attempt is appreciated but some pedantry if I may: 1. /i/ on non-4chan sites is where raids and invasions are conducted 2. skid has been in use for decades, it's not a zoomer thing at all.

- runjake 2y agoThank you for clarifying. Disclaimer: I am way above the median HN age, so 12 years ago is pretty much yesterday to me.
