>context matters

I've wrote about my observations with the same conclusion

https://trolololo.xyz/programming-discussions

>I've started thinking about it and realized that people arguing on all previously mentioned platforms tend to have various backgrounds

>Web developers, desktop developers, system programmers, cloud engineers, people working at startups, people working in corporations, beginners, experienced and known in the industry people, FP/OOP fans, self-taught, people after electrical engineering/computer science/mathematics, and a looot of more.

>So, what's the difference? I'd say context and the context is unfortunately lost in those discussions because all you see is just somebody's comment and that's it. Nickname very often doesn't tell you anything (except on forums after you spend some time there)

>And they all are right (or may if you want to argue :)), but very often that information about their respective domains is lost and the argument is around some "generic code base" or some "average project" which is different for everybody.
