Some of the negative indicators are debatable. For example:
Started programming at university
For many students in my country (India), there is no access to computers in schools. University is the first exposure to computers. Penalizing people for this seems counter-productive at best.
All programming experience is on the CV
This ignores people who work in industries with strong NDAs e.g aerospace, defence. For such candidates, the only way to show expertise is to mention on CV
Happy to work with whatever technology you’ve picked, “all technologies are good”
At the end of the day, a professional developer solves business problems. Tools and technologies are a means to an end, not an end in themselves. Getting fixated on particular tools may put you off track from solving the problems. It is true that some tools are better for particular situations but in many places you do not have the freedom to decide that.
Programming is only a day job
This assumes that programmers have no life outside of programming. A person can have other hobbies than coding.
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.
