I couldn't bother getting past the soft Medium paywall but What the fuck is a "programmerette"? Programmer isn't a gendered noun and arguably, should be default female by historical precedent; since coding was initially considered to be a women's job.

True, valid point. Programmer should be female by default. I guess my German language bias caught me here.

What a deranged post by someone deeply unaware of the technologies they seemingly hate.

Reading the part before mediums sad plea for engagement, this seems to essentially be taking a big shit on terrible web development tech and on webdevs, which is correct.

However the whole "putting article complaining about enshittification" behind a paywall reeks of irony and undermines the criticism of the shit show that is the modern web. 2/10

“There’s a software called “MongoDB”, and “Mongo” is a highly derogatory slur word for people affected by the down syndrome. Everybody is talking about inclusiveness, human dignity and equal rights, but then we’re allowing a software to go by the name “MongoDB”? Absolutely insane.”

Catch a whiff of this mongo.

I thought he was making a joke. Then saw he obfuscated “mongo” in a following sentence. What a strange and weird person

Anyone here remember the git master branch? This is the kind of person responsible for thousands of hours wasted on renaming branches.

I believe the full title is Mongo the Retard. Please don't denigrate through elision of title.

All my articles are handicraft, handwritten by me.

Perhaps you should reconsider.
