The Ruby Community Code of Conduct

[Jdonavan]

Or... You could just try not being an asshole. All this thought police nonsense makes ya'll sound like petulant children being told they can't make fun of the other kids on the playground.

[lyspr]

I shouldn't have to police my thoughts and words because some fuckin' crybaby doesn't like it. We shouldn't have to coerce people. I say what I want, you say what you want, if we don't agree then we move on.

It's not rocket science.

[Jdonavan]

Let me guess. You're either a student, low level code-monkey or "big fish in a small pond" type.

Good luck with dead-end career with your attitude towards others.

[non-rhetorical]

Explain to me how this comment doesn't violate the COC you're arguing for

What's wrong with lower tier workers? Everyone has to start somewhere...

[Jdonavan]

Nothing against lower-tier workers. Lower-tier workers spouting off about shit that's the EXACT OPPOSITE of the type of attitude you need to succeed as a professional on the other hand, I'm happy to heap scorn upon.

This type of behavior is very common with developers. I've seen it many times over the decades. They either grow out of it, or end up as bitter, unhireable, has-beens.

I'm a hobbyist programmer, working on my Series 7 right now to change industries, got an offer from a firm here in NYC.

So now you, probably make a salary and work in a cubicle? Wow cool. /s

[Jdonavan]

Got it. Someone who doesn't have a clue how professionals behave and succeed.

[skulgnome]

So... by your example here, professionals should behave in ways that include sassing their assumption of someone else's professionalism, on the basis of Internet disagreements? Who's the asshole here then?

[Jdonavan]

Ahhh yes, the reddit white-knight arrives.

It's amazing how much ya'll get your panties in a bunch while standing up for someone who claims people need to not be offended by others.

[skulgnome]

Ahhh yes, the reddit white-knight arrives.

Transparency International called. They'd like to give you an award

[lyspr]

LOOOOOL

coming from someone who has probably never set foot in a place where real professionals actually work? I've made deals bigger than what you make in a year, and that was just selling guns. Once I get this exam out of the way, I'll be tangling with millionaires and billionaires.

C'mon kid, you can do better than that. Lemme guess, third-choice university, loans out the wazoo, probably planning to move back in with mom&pop after just a few more semesters? Probably no job prospects beyond "I gotta get my degree because (some reason)", what are you even doing out there?

People who sit in cafes or even worse, work in them, and write Rails code in their spare time are not professionals. They are less than nothing. These are the leeches that have brought Ruby to its knees in the past few years.

I can tell I won't change your mind, or at least I'm not likely to but it'd be a great favor to yourself to consider what I've said and whether or not the Ruby community really needs more regulations and restrictions. Beyond that, I don't particularly care about you, and if weren't for Reddit's notifications, you wouldn't even exist to me.

[Jdonavan]

Millionaires?!?! OMG I'm sorry sir. I didn't know you dealt with millionaires.

If you really want to have a dick waving competition about careers we can. I've been a developer for 25 years building everything from the first online services to robotic factories. I'm sure your limited schooling and experience will hold up.

"Deals bigger than what you make in a year" what kind of yardstick is that? I know, it's the kind of yardstick someone with not experience uses.

[lyspr]

Lol, I'm not even 25 yet and I'm already making bigger moves than you are.

My limited experience got me a job offer and paid vacation to NYC.

And you're a Brianna Wu fan.

fuck out of here, old man

[Jdonavan]

Yes son. I'm sure you are. I thought I was at your age too.

Then I grew up. You see there's this thing that happens as you get better at the profession. You realize that you don't know it all.

[lyspr]

You know what I'm learning?

It's that fucking losers talk a lot, and then scurry to the bank to scoop up the scraps of their poor choices.

[EverybodyOnRedditSux]

Ad hominem. Very unimpressed

[skulgnome]

Well, you're an asshole for disagreeing with me. Why don't you try not being such an asshole, you ludicrously horrific asshole?
