I think focusing on someone's occupation doesn't go deep enough into what makes a good life partner for one's self.
As someone who has a life partner who isn't a dev and hates code, I think it is important to at least have a "similar level of intelligence". This isn't raw IQ or something like that, but emotional intelligence and self-awareness. The fact my significant other doesn't code doesn't mean I can't talk about my struggles, or support them when they are struggling. Again, a shared career would make things easier to get into the actual details, but that isn't really the point.
I dislike the idea of seeking a life partner to help with your career and productivity. This should be a job for friends, co-workers and mentors. Significant others already have enough on their plate, helping you debug your code shouldn't be a high priority. This could be a plus, but it shouldn't be the goal.
Its important to remember not all devs are alike, think alike, or are all the same. If your looking for a "copy of yourself" as a life partner, not only does that seem kinda boring, but it also really limits potential life experiences if your too similar. I believe a life partner should "expand your world" to some degree. If your in the same profession, and "think the same", your world almost doesn't expand at all. That might be "safe", but I'm not sure if that is "rewarding" enough. Again, the fact your SO is a developer should be a plus, not the goal.
I'm not saying you shouldn't seek out a developer as a significant other, but I think focusing on that aspect shouldn't be the point.
These are my opinions on how to go about things, I don't believe there some kind of answer out there that works for every single person. But I do recommend to evaluate why you'd want a life partner that is a developer. You could be looking for "a label", rather than the person itself.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
