I never heard of this guy but that was difficult to watch. Why does he keep calling himself stupid? And at one point he made a joke about
consmeaning "condescending".I've always heard about lisp weenies and some of my personal experience indicates projection.
At the end he directly contradicts his buddy by saying "parallelism is *not* a nightmare in bash". Isn't that the kind of smug attitude lispers are always accused of having?
I'm not sure if it's quite projecting, but something close. It's a related thing people do about basically everything.
If you are normally good at something, and you run into something new and aren't as good as you usually are, anyone telling you anything is going to seem condescending. Because if they explained concepts that simple to you in a normal situation, one you're good at, they would be being condescending.
Some people learn to deal with it and ignore that twinge and others just let it out.
It gets turned up to 11 if the subject area is one you have your ego tied to. It gets turned up even higher if the context is also one where the new thing is presented as being "better".
I've never heard it get called the same thing by 2 people, everyone seems to rediscover it and name it again.
