I never claimed to be an expert in 5 languages. I even concede on being an expert in Python like I said in another comment despite using it for casual scripting for a decade. Grow up. This isn't personal.
I never accused you of claiming to be an expert in 5 languages without evidence. I accused you of claiming to be an expert in programming ("...and as an expert in programming I recognize that.") Without proof. Why does she need proof for her claim and you don't for yours? Your claim seems bigger, claiming to be an expert in the whole of programming.
Because claiming to know 5 languages is nuts. Claiming to be an expert programmer is acceptable. Like I said in my other comment.
If you tell me you have a cat in your garage, I'd believe you. If you told me you have a lion in your garage I'd be skeptical and will need evidence. If you tell me you have a dragon in your garage, well, we're back at Carl Sagan's "there's a dragon in my garage". The original claim of laundry list was ridiculous.
You don't seem to understand what "knowing" a language means, and this is a trick. I "know" 50 languages, but I'm an expert only in two. For both those two, not only I worked with them for years, but I watched conferences, read standards, contributed to public repos, etc. That's the difference. Stop using the word "know". It doesn't mean shit.
And btw, your opinion only means that you've been coding for less than a decade. Let me guess, you're around 26 years old, and been coding 5 years? Wild guess, but this is what you sound like.
I haven't been coding for any years, I'm not in CS. You being a gatekeeper probably means you think I should't even be allowed to comment in this thread at all. I do have many people in my life who are in CS and discuss it with them regularly. (I hope you don't mind how vague I'm being, don't want too much identifying information)
The original claim in the post was just "can code in", and you made unnecessary disparaging comments implying she was a liar and inexperienced, just like the assholes in the screenshot, because you got your panties in a twist that anyone DARE claim a skill in something you do without your approval. It then turned into a stupid back and forth where you constantly changed how experienced you expected her to be to meet your criteria.
That kind of behavior pisses me the fuck off. Let people do and enjoy things, don't gatekeep, and don't act like you are certain of something just because of what you think is "likely" in your limited worldview.
Lmao proof positive that you are just an asshole gatekeeper. Probably sexist too, despite your claim otherwise, since you are so determined to put her down.
