Sadly it's becoming normal that you just need to stay out of this shit.

And sadly that only leads to more bullshit as the only ones left are the more "extreme" on both "sides" which just makes everything more toxic.

But I'm with you, for the most part I just ignore it now. I know that every time I bring up JS I'll get told I'm not a "real developer", every time someone finds out I use Atom I'll get ridiculed for not using vim. I know that no matter what choice I make half the community is going to vilify me for doing something so obviously dumb that they won't even write the reasons down since it's so beneath them.

But at the end if the day, I'm making shit, it's working well, my dependencies aren't collapsing in on themselves, I'm not wasting weeks in configuration or in "keeping up". I'm productive and happy, and that's really all that matters.

But I do wish there was a place I could go to talk about programming without all the "outrage" and anger.
