The comment you’re replying to is really frustrating to me. It annoys me when people are so arrogant but also wrong. Do they live in a perfect world where nobody stores dates as ISO 8601 strings? I’ve seen that tons of times. Sometimes, it may even be considered the appropriate format when using stuff like JSON based formats.
I’m 100% with you - it’s the dangerous level of knowledge where someone understands the technical background for the most part, but is lacking real world experience. Reminds me of the blog posts titled “Misconceptions programmers have about X” - almost everything we touch in IT is complicated if you get deep enough.
But their style of commenting really jives with Lemmy on technical topics. I can’t count the number of posts where people proudly shout fundamentally wrong explanations for current AI models, yet any corrections are downvoted to oblivion. It’s not as bad on non-AI-topics, but I can’t imagine anyone in the field reading GPs comment and agreeing…
