You are exactly the kind of person the intro was intended to filter out. Congratulations on your tantrum.

The main problem with being an arrogant, condescending, narrow-minded asshole who thinks the world is a simple place and you're smarter than everyone else is actually ironically rather simple: you're wrong. About so, so, so many things in this world. And the problem with being proud of it, as you clearly are, is that you deprive yourself of the chance of ever being any less wrong.

But you go on intentionally filtering out professional software engineers with over a decade of experience if they have even the slightest difference of opinion about the subjects you write about. Clearly they have nothing to offer you: you already know everything anyway.

I definitely don't know everything, and I am always learning from real professionals with real experience. But it's certainly true that you don't have anything to offer to me.
