@DominicCronin @Shekhar551228 @engineers_feed
He didn't say that.
unclear what that refers to.
Only "Python developer".
he did say he's been doing it for ten years, so he said more than only python developer
@DominicCronin @Shekhar551228 @engineers_feed
I've only ever heard the terms 'software developer' and 'software engineer' used synonymously.
@DominicCronin @Shekhar551228 @engineers_feed
It's his profession and it's called 'software engineer', he's been doing it for ten years, he's not some script kiddie like someone wielding a spanner one afternoon.
@Shekhar551228 @engineers_feed
Then you’re still an engineer, albeit a different one.

I have many criticisms of your previous tweet (twitter.com/CFallibilism/s…) but first I think you'd benefit from re-reading and analyzing the most recent tweets in this thread starting at "Are you not on the side of life?" in light of this article: curi.us/2128-question-…
@CFallibilism @MagnetThatcher @DavidDeutschOxf
Is that a 'yes' to my question?
Or, nowadays, not so simple ones. twitter.com/SJobs_Stories/…
@CFallibilism @MagnetThatcher @DavidDeutschOxf
That question is rather broad – could include animal and plant life. I take it to mean something like 'Do you not want ppl to live?', correct?
@CFallibilism
I encourage ppl not to break the law in general but to resist tyrants. Ppl should have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This woman shows courage in the face of a tyrant with overwhelming power against her; that's rare.
@CFallibilism @MagnetThatcher @DavidDeutschOxf
Correct, what's within double quotes is what the scientists said in the linked article. What's in single quotes is an imagined/scare quote by an imaginary tyrant.
(I tend to use double quotes for literal quotes only and single quotes for imagined/scare quotes.)

The fact that you even asked this question just goes to show that you have hip privilege. You should instead educate yourself on the plight of women and minorities, bigot.

Coercion is also used when persuasion isn’t entertained as an option. Eg by those incompetent at persuasion (government, parents).
Classic example of government causing problems (lockdowns -> more poverty), and then wanting to steal more money to 'solve' them. twitter.com/ewarren/status…
I'd guess that introducing teleportation makes measuring speeds even more difficult... Or does it?

Bill Burr once told a story (I'm paraphrasing from vague memory) that he met a hot and super cool LAY-DEE on a plane. He couldn't believe it. When she saw the disbelief on his face she said 'I used to be fat'. Interestingly, she stayed cool.

@Friuliaa @L0stM00nB0y @FirearmsRetro
It could, but the difference is that women don't get the same scrutiny as men. Everyone knows men can be pigs but do ppl know that about women? Something Bill Burr likes to point out.
