I was arguing with a engineer two weeks ago about systems. I never met him before. But he has a few drinks and interrupted our conversation. And I nearly lost my shit because of how confidently wrong this guy was.
Then someone pulled me aside and said, “Go easy on the guy. He’s only been in the industry for a year.”
And I did feel bad. But also like, my dude… You are going to wake up to realizing you know nothing.
whatever happened to intellectual humility? just because you’re experiencing acute Dunning-Kruger doesn’t mean you have to go raining on somebody else’s parade about how they “know nothing”. Maybe they’re right, maybe you’re an arrogant fool, maybe you really are as stupid as you think you are so you should stfu and let someone else imagine a little. People like you bug. Just because you’ve realized how stupid you are doesn’t mean you need to go shoving it down other’s throats in a desperate bid to salvage your ego.
Best to rest the comment you’re replying to before going on a tirade - this guy drunkenly interrupted OPs conversation to lecture them, it’s a proportionate response, even if maybe not optimal

shut up
I wish I had your optimism about humanity.
This guy sounds like management material.
