I talked to a DBA once who had a fragile ego. I said I was interested in database work. He started rattling things off like he was only person who could understand it. I started avoiding him after that. I was wtf, you don't think other people should learn your craft?
Me as a programmer/engineer: Hey, lets start with arduino... -
@scor 😁💜

@Root sigh.
Seems like another case of programmers ego.
The numbers say everything.
Making mistakes is human, but reacting like you shat on his desk when you're correcting his mistakes is just plain dumb and childish.
Noone is omniscient. I really wish people would finally get this. -
@Root
Are you by chance volter, because of the purple heart? -
@scor …?
Volteer? -
@Root
Nah. Volt&"er".
A fraction of European people who preferably use the purple heart emoji.
But nvm.
Every time I interact with this DBA he treats me like I’m some fucking moron who barely knows what a query is. It doesn’t help that I can’t get him to understand a damned fucking thing, no matter what the topic is. We speak the same language, supposedly, but can barely communicate. I can’t even begin describe how his half of the conversations go because I am unable to follow much of it.
Maybe if I start aligning my fucking chakras and channeling my inner goddamn cosmic peace energy, or whatever it is he’s on about, he might start making more sense? I swear he’s been so high so often that he’s never quite come down.
There’s obviously a language barrier, somehow, but the guy is also such a douche every freaking time. Ugh.
