Hey, I was explicitly being open to being wrong and acknowledging that I may simply not have encountered those kinds of professionals. I don’t even think I was being hostile, only saying that from my perspective the idea of this meme is a misunderstanding propagated by people with less experience.
But rather than present any evidence, even anecdotal, taking it personally (even as a joke) serves only to publicly make me look more correct 🤷
I don’t think you were hostile, you just have a different experience than others in this thread. At my workplace we design hardware and make embedded systems. Depending on which part of the system you’re working on you’ll either never leave Visual Studio or exclusively use the unix command line. Both groups are absolutely serious professionals. Not every workplace is like mine; most will have only one of the two groups.
Yes, that’s true. It was definitely not my intent to imply that such people are not professionals. They do seem to be a very small part of the overall software developer world. To me it seems like 90% of devs are doing full stack UI, API, DB type stuff. But it probably seems the other way to people doing the other things.
The only people who would take you being “more correct” from any of this are those who don’t know much about SW development. In internet lingo, what you wrote in your OC is called ragebait.
I think your message ended there, you accidentally copypasted some garbage after that statement.

Maybe you’re just very easily enraged?
