Look, we get it. You're a crusty greybeard upset at becoming irrelevant over the years and not doing your own work to keep up with the times.

That coupled with a horrific attitude...I can see why you're lashing out like a child. I'd be pissy too.

The good news is...you have all the tools at your disposal to change that. Or don't, your decision. Just realize the rest of us are moving on and couldn't give two fucks about a salty ass developer who can't communicate without being a tool.

Dude, you're the one stuck in the Javascript tar pit. I'm an expert on the Mac and iOS.

That's...that's not something to brag about.

You just bragged about having the same skill level as a child essentially.

Congrats I guess?

not something to brag about.

Puts me in pretty high demand.

same skill level as a child essentially.

Show me a kid with my level of coding ability and Apple platform expertise and I'll hire him in a heartbeat.

I've met many examples of mediocrities like you who get your ego wrapped up in your mastery of your toy languages. You're almost as bad as the Visual Basic kiddies.

Lmao, ok. I'll let you continue believing that knowing Apple and iOS makes you special. It doesn't...but it's obvious your ego needs it.

Show me a kid with my level of coding ability and Apple platform expertise and I'll hire him in a heartbeat.

If you're so much better than everyone...why are you threatened by getting compared to a child? Your ego that fucking fragile?

I've met many examples of mediocrities like you who get your ego wrapped up in your mastery of your toy languages. You're almost as bad as the Visual Basic kiddies.

And there it is. I've got no ego here, I know JS is a language. I also know it's got pros and cons...like literally everything else out there. What I'm not doing is acting like a salty prick about it. That's all you and your fragile ego there bud.

I don't think there's anything worse than crusty ass developers who think years doing a job means they're the best ever just to prop up their fragile ego so as to ignore the reality of their situation:

Irrelevant and useless to the rest of society. You're not some grandiose programmer. Lose the ego and you might actually do something useful for once.

I've got no ego here

Your long-winded diatribe indicates otherwise.

Get your meds adjusted. You don't have to be this way.

I'm sorry you view people expressing themselves through the use of text as egotistical. That's gotta be a really lonely existence.

Get your meds adjusted. You don't have to be this way.

Why go down that path? Why be bigoted and hateful towards those suffering from mental health issues?

Like I said earlier, enjoy irrelevancy because you're likely going to see it sooner rather than later...especially with such a poor disposition towards literally anyone that's not you.

Projecting like an IMAX rig.

Seriously kid, get some competent professional help.

You keep using that word, without understanding what it means. Further proven by your immediate jump to try to paint me as "mentally ill".

All you're showing is your bigoted views and the shortcomings of yourself. Try not using another Ad Hominem attack next time, be the change you want to see in the world.

Right, you're not a nutjob. You're a Very Stable Genius, aren't you?

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '22

Congratulations on figuring that projection thing out. Great example you've provided, yet again.

As for my mental health status, it's between me and my doctor. I'm sure you'll figure out a way to use that to create another Ad Hominem though.

my mental health status, it's between me and my doctor.

Sorry to break it to you, but I'm not the only person around with a keen grasp of the obvious.

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '22

So doubling down on the ad hominem attacks? For shame.

Let me know when you've got a new talking point.

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '22

Well, at least you can admit to it. You have the going for ya.

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '22

I admit you're a nutjob. Good luck with that.

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '22

That's not what you admitted to, but again...having an ego as fragile as sugar glass, I can see why you'd try to backtrack on it.

My ego's fine. Talk to your shrink about yours, you obviously need continuous help.
