I think there is a misunderstanding here. I wasn't looking to dunk on or shame anyone, only to make an important point. A lot of software engineers are not doing great right now, even though many here may be doing fine. That's a problem bigger than anyone's ego.
And I didn't go back that far, spent about 10 seconds looking.
As for my other comments, at least 80-90% of them have a positive vote ratio, even though I deliberately voice unpopular opinions. Most of the negatives have to do with politics, or Elon Musk, which people here tend to feel strongly about.
Considering that heated debates are not unwelcome here, I don't think that makes me a terrible person. That being said I'll try to be a little more careful before posting in the future, and I broadly agree with the point you were aiming for with your comment. Apologies to the GP if I caused any unwelcome feelings.
Digging through peoples past posts to look for gotcha’s is a pretty crass practice. It’s the kind of thing people used to do to try and dunk on each other on Reddit. It should not become the norm here.
