I doubt that’s what happened at the Star Citizen sub-reddit … Also, this is interesting but there are just a lot of young people in programming forums being a bit immature. If you go to CppCon or GDC or some other tech conference, you don’t get the same discourse as in forums.
ehhh, I think if you watch the cppcon videos, you can get a taste of what the OP is talking about.
The cpp community is possibly the worst offender on some of the points. Speakers walking on eggshells and having to have a laundry list of caveats comes to mind.
It's more mature in the sense that you probably wont see a lot of memes, the insecurity and ego still permeate the venue and community.
I'm electing not to. I don't want to put any one specific persons behavior under a microscope publicly. There are specific examples that I'm thinking of, but linking to a video of them attaches a face, voice, name, etc.
I'd hate to put myself out there doing a talk and be on the receiving end of that sort of indirect criticism. It wouldn't be feedback to the person, it'd just be something for us to argue about whether they're exhibiting a given behavior or not.
