Not a programmer here, though sitting on the fence a bit - please remember that many programmers faced abuse and were ridiculed during their school years for their general attitude and their passion. Ever heard the words dork/nerd/geek? They weren't that trendy a few years ago.
- bilalhusain 12y agoIf its about explaining the attitude of forming their own cool hangout, I do agree with you. But I don't buy that an attitude inspired by revenge is justified because they were abused.
- roghummal 12y agoTheir own "cool hangout"? I'll let you in! The secret handshake goes like this: Open your right hand, palm down. Make a fist. Now let your middle/long/tall finger extend. Rotate your hand 180deg clockwise. Bend your wrist upward. Congrats. Welcome.

There are people who have suffered far greater injustices than being bullied in school and were resilient enough to maintain a generally positive disposition that serves them well. There are also privileged individuals who never faced anything most people would consider a real problem and yet are extremely cynical and bitter at the world as they see it. Setting all judgement aside, what is the better way to live solely for oneself?
