I have been a software professional since I was in high school in 1998. I'm enthusiastic about open source, and I really enjoy working in unusual software systems or within strange constraints.
In my 25 years of professional work, you’d think I would have gotten used to having folks make unnecessary corrections to my statements, but I regret to report that I have not.
It is impolite to advance your ideas by presenting them as polite criticism, please stop doing it. Especially when this sort of conduct is directed at women and people of color, it can send a message that you don’t think they’re not good enough, especially the part where you mention how advanced you are. These types of corrections don’t really add to the conversation except to tell the person you’re correcting that they’re wrong about something important.
I grew up programming, since I was a young child of seven. I have programmed computers as my primary time-suck since I was 12. I have never found type safety to be a primary concern.
At the end of the day, however, my remarks in the prior comment were me describing my own life experience, which was not an invitation for correction or review. I apologize for the misunderstanding, and I hope this clears things up.

It’s all OK. Don’t forget that we’re all learning and growing; all of us. Just as I’d ask someone to correct me if I said something wrong in French, it’s good to make sure we also correct folks when they could adjust conduct to make community more inclusive.
You’re all good my friend, and I hope you keep engaging and growing with us all.
I believe in admitting mistakes, that makes life easier to everyone.
Clearly my comment didn't have the effect I intendeded, well I delete it and do better next time.
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.

Didn't mean to create this, I deleted my comment
