Excuse me, sir. I find it unacceptable to be classified as such. Please refer to my person as 50 bags of flour. Thanks.

Grab some water and stay hydrated.

When it comes to posts like yours, whatever comes before the but is pointless to read.

Best for what? There is no godlike programming language yet.

Not sure if he hates anything but it does look like he looks at most people as lesser beings.

Even the sense of humour is the same "how do you do, fellow kids" kind.

3 spaces is best because if the universe is chaos then everything in it should reflect that.

I am guilty of describing recent events as “the death of Reddit.”

'Reddit as you know it has ended.'

Different people will have different takes on that quote. But that's easier to interpret since it's not edgy and more fitting of the reality. Reddit won't be going away yet, just like Facebook didn't despite its numerous fiascos. Someone who was on Reddit since its beginning might have agreed with this quote several years ago. In my case, it was around the time Reddit had the first Facebook exodus and the time they started accepting investment from dodgy companies like Tencent.

Right now, defederation is being used the way it was arguably intended: to protect communities who feel threatened by massive growth.

A lot of Subreddits were negatively impacted by massive growth. I'd argue that was the case for all of them. The people factor aside, you'd get issues with becoming monetisation targets, which, among others, can mean mod corruption and increased bot activity.

No system is perfect. Lemmy's day will most likely come too, just like it has come for almost everything else. Enjoy while you can, you do live in the present after all.

I can’t believe how wrong I was. Programmers can be the most arrogant dickheads you will ever meet. Why is that?

That is a behaviour I commonly see online. Working in scientific programming, my experience has been the opposite. The programmers I interact with aren't afraid to ask for help and will usually recognise their mistakes. Not once have I been mocked for my crappy code, not for a lack of opportunities.

As with any field, the less a person knows the more they boast to know.
