    I think it’s on a case by case basis but having help desk ppl help you out and opening powershell and noodling without any concept of problem solving made me make this face once.

    It probably goes both ways, I’m a dev and I assembled computers at 12 yo so I believe I have a lot of experience and knowledge when it comes to hardware. I’ve also written code for embedded platforms.

    IT people in my pov can really come across as enthusiast consumers when it comes to their hardware knowledge.

    “did you guys hear Nvidia has the new [marketing term] wow!” . Have you ever thought about what [marketing term] actually does past just reading the marketing announcement?

    At the same time I swear to God devs who use macs have no idea how computers work at all and I mean EXCLUDING their skill as a dev. I’ve had them screen share to see what I imagine is a baby’s first day on a computer.

    To close this rant: probably goes both ways



  • Eh, not sure if this is true at all. I think the reality is that niche specialized roles are valuable (frontend expert) but you are not “hacking” your way in full stack unless you are a junior or just bad at development.

    I don’t consider myself to be hacking anything I do, even things I’m not as strong in (ci cd) I pay full attention to documentation and examples before blinding coding or writing ci scripts

    I have met 3 arch users irl.

    One was a hacker man kid (unironically one of the best developers I’ve met), messy hair, hoodie but other wise a regular kid.

    One was his friend, jock kind of kid. Not necessarily good at programming but he did program and was enthusiastic about it.

    Another is a CS major, 6ft tall and fit. Not much else to say about him. He studies CS, you can infer whatever else you want.

    And obviously me (btw), not that I’ve met myself.
