      They can be a xenophobic, ageist jagoff all they want. I’m not engaging with them anymore. They’re the carpenter that thinks a hammer solves all problems, if we pretend they actually did anything with FPGA as their day job.

        Granted, it was a very controlled Reddit argument. It had all the elements, but with a bit of class. 😆

          Social media will always devolve into that. I like seeing arguments personally but when it devolves into name calling and ego stroking it gets annoying real quick

        They didn’t say anything xenophobic. They may have played into the ageist stuff but it was after you tried to play “I’ve been doing since you before you were born” card, and that makes it fair game imo. You were being unnecessarily aggressive from the start of this exchange and I think they were matching your energy. This is my outside perspective but you may lash out at me too. I don’t have a dog in this fight, I’d have to do research before figuring out if either of you knows what you’re talking about.

                Uh huh… Bet it’s not. Because that would make things difficult.

                And the classic down vote for calling out. 😆👍 Hard to shake the Reddit ways.

                Have a good one!

                  Let’s review. They said there was nothing xenophobic. But the original weirdo had some BS to say about american universities. Textbook definition. They said that there was no ageism until I said something, completely ignoring the fact that the original person initially claimed I was younger then them so I had no experience. I responded noting that I’ve been in the industry quite some time, not as an argument from experience but as a retort to the claim I was new to all of this.

                  The fact is, the person you’re now defending clearly didn’t read the thread, and you’re just here concern trolling. I provided links to retort the frankly idiotic claims about ASICs not being a far more popular choice than FPGAs, and it’s hysterical to see you people coming through worried about the discourse rather than the facts of the matter.

                  Bye now.

                    Discourse was the fun part. I don’t give a shit about what you two are actually talking about lol. Sounds too complicated for me.

                    I’m not defending anyone. You both were bickering equally toward one another. I’m not on your or their side.

                    Nice down vote. 👍 Have a good one!
