        1. I went to meetup the other day (not tech) and as these things go I was asked what my job is. So I said I ran the mobile team at Automattic / WordPress native apps. Minutes later this dude... mentions he dropped out of code school and starts explaining what programming is.

        He literally had no idea and he was sat next to me explaining... I told him he was wrong 😂 I swear at no point had it occurred to him that it was probably something that - given my job - I know about.

      He said programming was all debugging and I said “sure, when you start and you’re bad at it.” Turns out I’m all out of tact for dudes like that.

    He also started by saying you ”have to be a particular kind of person to do it” and not in a complementary way. I’m siting right next to this dude. RIGHT NEXT TO HIM.

      Anyway I didn’t stab him so I think we can all agree he got off lightly.
