Your name.. pretty messed up.

Pretty awful perspective.

All this talk of tiered schools is gross

Yup. And yet, it's the very lifeblood of social and economic interactions, for a great many people in the U.S.

Everyone resents these guys. I don’t blame you. There’s some serious hatred from ivy leaguers. Serious hatred.

If you work at google the little shits on the internet can’t say “LuL ur just not good enough” anymore.

I think this is a harmful stereotype

I think you are missing my point. Which, you know, maybe doesn't belong on HN at all. But neither does name calling to begin with. The guidelines say so, more or less.

No I see your point. I also think this is a harmful stereotype. It’s not about your point.

Well, I don't think I am stereotyping. I am absolutely not saying "all IT people have terrible social skills" or anything like that. Just because the stereotype exists does not mean I am promoting it.

Sorry if that is a sore point for you. But, making a point in the particular case is not the same as tarring all IT people. I do plenty to give push back against such stereotypes. * I generally prefer the company of IT people. I long have. It is part of why I spend so much time on HN. But I don't feel I need to follow some sort of extremist zero tolerance policy here.

I'll rewrite this comment:

"Users are idiots!"

Seems like an inappropriate contribution

The average user is a product of your UX and documentation. If it seems like all your users are idiots, then maybe the problem is you?

Inappropriate to whom? Pointing out that users are irrational is certainly relevant here. It’s difficult to see how exactly the implied condescension and arrogance here is inappropriate. Distracting? Sure. But this isn’t a self help forum, and you’re tossing the baby out with the bath water.

Is that how you excuse being a dick?
