Are you one of the people I depend on who write useful information on the internet sharing their expertise?

He's a magician, one who used to be famous 😁

You don't get to be the boss by listening to people, in most places sadly.

You can always checkout their point, information or perspective via other sources. Doesn't have to be about the person posting. Personally, I'd rather it wasn't.

That's totally fair.

I taught a seminar in the nature of identity last month. Great fun.

I know it's a massive cliché talking about the hive mind on Reddit, but it was a cliché for a reason!

I assume you're there to make the tea and order stationary?

That's totally fair, I agree.

The version that upsets me most is when I offer a perspective from my expertise, well founded and reasonable, and rather than ask questions to understand or offer a competing idea, people so often just say that I must be an idiot and know nothing about the topic.

I can hardly reply with "no, you're the stupid one!" coz that just really doesn't help.

Nice, sounds like you have a lot of clarity in an analytical mind!

I do so love proof in a professional environment.

I have never experienced that world, and never heard what it's like from that side. Really appreciate your insight just because it's so different to all the "expert advice" that floats around on social media

I've never learnt to dance

That's a very reasoned and reasonable view of the question. Totally fair I'd say. Feeling a little emotionally frustrated by it today none the less.

Good plan. Document your expertise and them have enough rope to tie themselves in knots.

I'd call it healthy debate but I've never met a software engineer who had a healthy anything

I'm impressed by your bravery in telling people that one, given the variety and origins of the "facts" on that topic! 😲

That's more than a lack of respect for expertise, that's a lack of basic human respect.

I furiously dislike people explaining me to me.

Do you think those people represent the community view, or at least a significant portion of it? Or is it more like one unpleasant person who loves to argue the toss?

That's really interesting! In the UK we have an excellent tradition of making both really excellent and really abhorrent documentaries, so clearly they're not all made equal.

Appreciate hearing an expert opinion on what this means in reality.

There was a time when I wanted to do that.

Given that I know enough to run my home network feel free to ask me anything about your job. 🤔😈
