i know i have very little patience and maybe people shouldn't throw rocks in glass houses
but there is a certain class of mastodon poser who keeps trying to outsmart me in the replies
and sure enough sometimes that's fair game, but it would be nice if they read the actual post they're replying to
rather than latching onto the first word they disagree with, and trying to brow beat me into acknowledging their technicality i already mentioned three posts back

i did make a funny post but i also tried to say "maybe the performance optimisation with security concerns shouldn't be promoted to beginners, or established as a default, we should be using something much harder to misuse or fuckup"
and sure enough i got the "uuids are ugly" sure are bud, and the "it sucks but thems the breaks" i hear ya
but i also got "aha but what if all of these technical consequences happened to be good things, checkmate atheist" and it's like "yes and?" it's a tradeoff
