- HeliumHydride 8mo agoThere's a name for this: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Goomba_fallacy https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Goomba_fallacy
- chrysoprace 8mo agoI'm glad that a term for this exists. It's always seemed so silly to me that someone would think that a group of people would all conform to the same opinion.
- CoastalCoder 8mo agoThank you!!! I've been looking for a term for this concept for years!
- jacquesm 8mo agoSome of them are the same. It's a Venn diagram: there are two camps and there is no doubt some overlap because the number of people involved. GP was obviously talking about the overlap, not literally equating this with two specific people or two groups that are 100% overlapping.
- dullcrisp 8mo agoSo they’re assuming the existence of somebody to be mad at without direct evidence?
- jacquesm 8mo agoNo, they're applying statistics.
- dullcrisp 8mo agoSome people are literally the worst. I don’t know which ones specifically, but statistically speaking some must be.
- techpression 8mo agoStatistically only one person can literally be the worst, unless you can tie for the position.
- cwillu 8mo agoThe set of sane developers and developers who are completely ignoring security considerations are disjoint. You only get an overlap if you ignore words in the original comment.
- ncallaway 8mo agoI mean... that could be a little "no true scotsman" at that point, though. I think the most useful interpretation of the previous post is Set A is "the set of developers who appeared sane before the arrival of AI agents" and Set B is "the set of developers who are completely ignoring security considerations".
- Capricorn2481 8mo agoHmm? I have 100% met people that fall into this.
