Literally the third sentence says > Their skill isn’t in programming, it’s in reducing ambiguity rapidly and advancing efforts through complexity rapidly You should make a top-level comment if you plan on ignoring context.

Sad, I’d love to hear all about how ‘poor’ my analogy was.

That's like saying murder isn't heinously evil, because murder has existed long before you or I.

It's a bit disingenuous to defend people who ended it while simultaneously pretending it never happened.

When you ignore such large chunks of context, it makes conversation unfruitful

Imagine being so reductive you lost the point along the way

Didn't we already establish upthread why it matters? Why are we backtracking 5 comments deep?

You didn't grow up in America, you grew up in Sweden. I don't think any further explanation is required.

Yes, you did. It’s far too specific and confident an accusation to be anything else. The only connection you could possibly draw to UCSB from anything in my life or profile is this username/that @whynaut person, because I’ve never step

nice try? never went to UCSB. edit: looks like you found @whynaut on github? I don’t repeat usernames, though. > unlike your post which is full of malice Hah! You need some serious introspection.

> it's hard to imagine someone actually thought they were making a good point. That’s why assumed it wasn’t sarcastic. As a sarcastic comment it feels flippant and dismissive. So I thought a better perspective was that they were ref

I don’t think they are being sarcastic, given the context

In my experience, these notes aren’t written by devs in bigger companies.

Fromsoft has unskippable tutorials in most of their games, going back to Demon’s Souls. Perhaps they were designed well enough that you didn’t notice?
