It's fair to be bothered when someone's putting you down, but I'd focus on that tone and how they were brushing you off rather than word choice. At that point, it seems like getting riled up on a title or job descriptor rather than your treatment.
Like, specifically the prompt/title was about being called Coder. Meh, it's a word. Meanwhile, someone who thinks they're better than everyone else going "Eww, he's a coder" is an issue even if it was them being "Eww, he's the head of interspace travel." (I spent a lot of today reading the archives of Chief O'Brien At Work)
Also, that businessy person is a jerkface, so at least you learned that from the meeting :)
That is a very good point! I wrote the article soon after the meeting while still somewhat heated from the transaction. It might have been a better idea to wait until I had cooled down a bit. The meeting was also heated, but for other reasons that made sense (:
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.
