      when it progresses into the realm of “4 guys backing each other up that its totally unnecessary and presumably shutting down the SIL trying to correct them,” and when literally any research or forethought would show that its a horrible idea, then I don’t think it is. It isn’t like “can you believe this person isn’t 1337 like me” it’s “hey can you back me up? otherwise my groupmates are going to tank my grade by being self-deluded arrogant pricks”. It’s the not listening when being told why its a bad idea that sucks, and the sexism aspect, while this is way too 3rd hand to know for sure, is pretty sus from my experience in comp sci circles

      Making fun of techbros who entered the field to circlejerk with their treats is always valid.

      Most people do CS because they think they will get paid handsome wages just for playing with their computers and the IT industry wants expendable workers so CS is advertised as a get rich quick scheme.

      Most if not all CS students vastly overestimate their abilities and chauvinism is rampant in the field.
