Hey PascalDragon,
Now where does that attitude come from?
Well, that attitude comes from the fact that you chose to start one of your arguments with "
I don't care...".
It doesn't really matter what comes after that. You've already set the tone. Anything after that is just bullish.
You see, looking at your profile, with a couple thousand posts, the classification of Hero Member(granted, not your choice of words) and the fact that day in, day out you demonstrate a firm grasp of the innards of Lazarus/FPC puts you in a rather delicate position of being considered an example to follow.
So when you set the tone that you "
don't care" about something, younger fellow programmers, young in knowledge, not in age, will tend to subconsciously imitate you. And that toxic tone is what festers and brings about the rancid tech bro culture that we need to shed.
If you, instead, started your argument with something along the lines: "
I've invested a lot on my current path, so I don't have he expertize to comment or advise on something else", I would never have given you grief.
But that wasn't your choice, right? You chose to start with "
I don't care...".
Do you now get why the attitude came about?
Cheers,
Gus
