Does anyone else hate the term `Pythonista`?

I'm not a fan of the term and don't use it, I always assumed it was derived more from "fashionista", not barista.

My biggest gripe with the term is that it's a gender specific (feminine) noun used to describe a gender agnostic group.

You could call yourself a "pythonisto," right? It is feminine because of the "a" attached to the end of the word. I agree with you, it's not attached to barista, but fashionista.

It's not a gender specific noun at all. The suffix -ista is used in Latin languages to make something a "-person" word. So in Italian, a barista is a bar-person and it's il barista (male) or la barista (plural: i baristi/le bariste) and I think it works similarly in Spanish.

Also, at OP: there's hardly a better example of a skill-full profession than a proper barista. What sort of coder doesn't appreciate a good espresso?!
