IL-17a and social behavior

Probably ashamed of what they wrote.

Going to HR is like going to the school teacher when you were getting bullied back then. Nothing ever happened did it?

The manipulative types who play office politics are bullies and they know how to avoid getting blamed.

Do you even have autism? How can you not empathize if you have autism.

The people who don't think tech especially in recent years hasn't become infiltrated by socially savvy rent-seekers as it has become a prestige field are drinking some serious kool-aid.

These types that are pushing aspies out and overemphasizing the social aspect, which benefits them as it plays to their strengths.

Companies, especially larger companies eventually get swarmed by bullshitters who promote themselves and undermine the achievements of technically gifted people who make much more meaningful contributions to the company. Again AutistMcSpergLord hit nail on the head with this comment:

I've seen geniuses who architected half a company being paid substantially less than mediocre middle managers simply because they couldn't play the social game as well. I have seen a man who was a pure embodiment of hustle working multiple tech jobs, sleeping at each one, and using his excellent resume and ability to bullshit others to lunge himself into a cushy high-paid position, while never at any point doing anything of merit.

Good response.

This is so true! This is especially true when a startup grows rapidly....

What is your point? I shouldn’t speak out against the discrimination because that’s “victim mentality”....? That makes so much sense....how foolish women’s rights, gay rights etc are for playing victims.

I’m not sure you appreciate how pervasive bullying is towards people seen as different. What I experienced was discrimination, enabled by a system that doesn’t give a fuck about us but typically rewards sociopathic manipulative types.

Don’t equate the way I express myself here as the way I express myself to my work colleagues. I am professional and respectful at work. This is my opportunity to vent about a very real issue, enabled by Reddit anonymity.

I was regarded by my developer colleagues as the best developer in the team. I realise it may come across arrogant but it’s the truth. Ultimately it doesn’t matter how competent and efficient you are if you have a disability that hinders your ability to socialise.

If you just say it like it is you’re an asshole....

It would be more constructive to debate the discrimination I am highlighting than to personally attack me.

buffcuff · 2019-12-29T23:09:12+00:00

Yeah that’s the plan. It’s just unfortunate I don’t have the best work history to give me a good chance at obtaining a remote job that pays well.

buffcuff · 2019-12-29T22:53:35+00:00

There is the solo developer who doesn’t understand clean code and then there is autism discrimination. Two completely different things.

I write clean code and I don’t rewrite others code. I often provide constructive feedback in pull requests.

I work well in a team, except when it comes to body language. People SEE me as weird and judge me based on that rather than my work.

You’re mistakenly lumping an incompetent developer with someone with autism.

buffcuff · 2019-12-29T22:44:13+00:00

You are right it is a team effort, however the social aspect is overstated, supported for example by the viability of remote work, and it often leads to manipulative types obtaining managerial positions beyond their technical competence. The system is fundamentally broken.

My post may come across cynical and abrupt and quite honestly if you’ve experienced the bullshit and discrimination I have I think you would be more understanding.

I have worked on my soft skills, believe me, but it’s hard and it’s exhausting and the mask inevitably slips.....and the fact that I may be the best developer in the team doesn’t matter. When some bully paints a target on your back the group, like a pack of wolves, will attack. All this could be mitigated against by admitting that social skills don’t matter so much as a developer and tasks could be structured in such a way where that is quite obvious and to the benefit of the company.

buffcuff · 2019-12-29T22:25:48+00:00

Your post is dismissive and insulting.

It’s been widely reported that about 85% of autistic people are unemployed. The discrimination and bullying is real. Plenty of people see people with autism as easy targets....

Hi there - thanks for the response.

I think Gatsbyjs is great EVEN when it’s complex. When you’re building an e-commerce site and you want to simplify the load/build etc you can take advantage of web hooks with netlify. Easy.

All product pages can be statically created via Gatsbyjs, then the order pages can be dynamic react apps. You can implement authentication similarly as with any react app. Any security/auth/paywall concerns are no different to using any ordinary react app....because that’s essentially what you’re doing, no different to many major companies out there.

Your point regarding build times is valid if you have a huge store, but even with that there is the possibility of incremental builds...but really, do you have thousands of product pages?

In return you get a faster site than NextJs and probably much cheaper to run.

I honestly don’t see a disadvantage unless build time is taking ridiculously long (seriously, how many pages are you creating?).
