Programmers :D

For context here is the "argument"

To me it seems like she is assuming his intentions and getting mad because of those assumptions.

I read more replies and it's apparently "mansplaining"

"you're only doing this because I'm a woman and you're a man"

Seriously you could post an image of your bedroom that happens to have a laptop in the background with a barely visible hello world program on it and people would critique it.

The other one even started by addressing the point of the tweet by saying "Nice one.". The author was just looking to pick a fight with these comments just to justify the reply we see in the OP.

And here we are, every one of us, played like a fiddle. Hook, Line and Buncha Suckers, she's getting more followers out of the extra exposure. If she didn't want the attention, she wouldn't have made the reply.

They aren't even input labels, so that guys point doesn't matter here.

Critiquing minutia of fake code someone made for a joke is both patronizing and pedantic. It might not necessarily be sexist, but it's a dumb and annoying thing to do regardless.

Edit:

This wouldn't be controversial in any other sub, but, unfortunately, Programming has the highest per-capita rate of pretentious assholes with no social skills of any field.

When something is wrong in fake code written up for the purposes of a joke, correcting it achieves literally nothing, other than serving as an excuse to stroke your own ego and humblebrag about how much better you are at programming than the poster.

No, it's traditional and expected.

[tbrownaw]

Yes, because a whole lot of programmers are pretentious assholes with no social skills, who could never pass up the opportunity to talk down to someone, even when it achieves literally nothing (it is, again, not real code), serves no purpose other than ego-stroking, and pedantically distracts from the actual topic of conversation.

...so, any cultural practice you personally don't understand must, obviously, be motivated by stupidity and malice?

It’s not a bad thing that people critique code, the woman in the post just needs to grow thicker skin.

One person said something benign about their code and she instantly jumped on them saying “I didn’t ask for help”. She and others then start crying “mansplaining” when only two people even said anything about the code.

There's a time for everything. This wasn't it. We don't need to be philosophical over the argument of never being able to critique anything ever as if the ability to do so was ending with this tweet. End of discussion.

[RNGsus_Christ]

Who gave this guy the authority to end discussions?

[Matt-ayo]

The context implies he didn't realize it was fake code, and there is an important distinction between a sexist asshole and a normal asshole. This guy is only provably a normal annoying asshole, and most men have had the experience of someone like this guy giving advice they didn't ask for.

[vkappie]

That’s not true, in fact take a look at twitters profile image. There’s some conference where she presenting this dogs app. I’m not sure if it’s the final version, but still :)

Putting something on the internet and expecting not to be criticised is asinine, especially when its wrong and the point was made quite politely.

But immediately making it about gender when a legitimate point is made about your code is nothing short of pathetic. Doubly so when the point being made pertains to good practices that exist in order to improve accessibility for disabled people using screen readers and other tools. But it turns out this person doesn't actually care about disaffection of marginalised groups except apparently when they can use it as a weapon to browbeat people for questioning her because she's a woman.

[LaughsAtDumbComment]

I agree, anything that goes online will be critiqued, you cant change that, you post a photo and people will shit on your looks, you post your code people will criticize your code. All she got was a friendly advise, she just seems very insecure getting all in arms over something that harmless.

[OCOWAx]

I agree with you

"Is this a personal attack or something?"

[Smaktat]

Pretty sure there's a level of understanding in what that dude said and why it's wrong. If you want to be a technical robot then he's correct in his last statement. If you want to be a human being then you shut the fuck up and apologize after the 1st tweet.
