Sorry, the post wasn't at all intended to be a personal attack. All I'm saying is that someone willing to immediately call something out as "shit" when it comes from a less experienced dev on their team likely comes from someone with a toxic attitude or someone in a bad working environment. Most of us stand on the shoulders of giants and would have never got anywhere if our mentors were downright rude or mean to us.

I didn’t mean to be taken quite so literally.

That said I’ve witnessed plenty of cringeworthy moments watching members of the MIT community deal with guest speakers during Q&A.
