- JoeAltmaier 14y agoI suspect designers can have opinions expressed about their work. But there's always the fact that its a matter of opinion or preference, so self-confidence can be protected by thinking "That's just their point of view. I know better" Programmers can be just plain wrong. Then get dissected on HN, for all the world to see. That's hard to take. But I still maintain HN is not 'mean'. And its not Alpha-Programmer posturing. Its a conversation about facts, indisputable much of the time. The point is, if your self-image is threatened, maybe its for good reason and not because somebody is picking on you.
