Lol read a crowd. If I was in a group of seventy year old white people I probably would adopt a different vernacular.

K, well, I'm not gonna work hard to prove anything lmao. Sounds like you just don't hang with a massively diverse group of people.




That’s quite an insecurity-laced kneejerk reaction you’ve posted there.

A tip from an adult who didn’t stumble into this industry from the recruitment sidelines: Keep your “yoooo dawg swaggy swag brooo!” stuff to your non-work friends. Women cite this immature brogrammer nonsense and the “culture” it creates as one of the reasons they’re put off from joining, or as a reason for leaving, the tech industry.

I’d encourage you to try to do better.


Where's these personal attacks coming from? Insecurity? You called me a liar. I feel my response was a perfectly acceptable way to defend myself against such an accusation.

> A tip from an adult who didn’t stumble into this industry from the recruitment sidelines:

What's the purpose of delving into my post history to find more material for personal insults?

Why have you rhetorically positioned yourself as an adult, and me as a child, in your message?

What emotion were you hoping I felt when you insinuated that my professional background makes me Less Than?

Why is it so important to you to impress upon me that You Are Smarter Than Me?
