My girlfriend did this comic about me and almost all programmers.

It would be the same as us telling them we're going to buy them a handbag

@xroad True tho. Or some shoes

It better be running the best OS, and not one of those *other* OS's

👉😎👉

@kevbost Are you talking about linux right?

@claudiofilipe21 no, DOS.

Duh.

@kevbost Never use it but someday I will give it a try.

@claudiofilipe21 I look forward to hearing your thoughts on DOS.

I have the exact opposite happen. Someone tells me they are going to buy a new computer and then want me to spec it all out and give them hardware support after the fact. 🤔

@codie-mullins It kinda is a good thing. It means that they trust your opinion. But it can be really anoying sometimes.

@claudiofilipe21 : Dammit! You told me to buy this computer and now it doesn't work!

And now you're on the hook for lifetime support.

@morgh you kinda have a point. But is the same with software.

You deployed this programmed and 2 years later a wild bug appears.
"You build this program and now it doesnt work correctly"

@xroad wtf sexist bullshit

@ellie why? I'm just pointing out that men don't know anything about handbags.

I am always happy to explain tech stuff to ppl.

@ellie how is it sexist? Elaborate and point to a specific rational as to why it's sexist otherwise you're just flaming.

@brettmoan @xroad - I believe @ellie is upset at the generalization that women know nothing about technology or possibly that men know nothing about handbags. I personally don't know anything about handbags, but my wife has a gay cousin who knows a great deal about them.

@yrtejas Me too. But only when people wanto to listen.

@xroad that men dont know about handbags and women dont know about computers is obviously sexist. not going to explain that for you boys

@ellie It was just a joke. No need to be offended. We are all buddies here.

@ellie I didn't say women didn't know anything about computers, the comic did. However men REALLY don't know anything about handbags

That's a fact

@xroad Man designers do

@claudiofilipe21 that's like what, 0.00001% of all men?

@xroad I wouldn't call them men. (racist joke ftw)

@ellie so the girlfriend writing a comic about her self is sexist? K.

In addition @ellie nowhere in the comic did it say anything about all women... it said whenever someone buys a computer...

@tpalmerstudios Agree indeed

One doesn't just 'buy a new computer'
