Resorting to silly Mac user stereotypes that were barely true when they dropped in 2008 is a good way to tell people you’ve never used a Mac or been to a Starbucks in a decade.

This is the comment where I now get offended that you said that as if not using a Mac or not going to Starbucks are shameful.

It's rare to see such a flame war on hn

As a coffeebeard I wouldn't be caught dead (nor alive) in a Starbucks.

That's actually a 2000s political stereotype rather than a tech stereotype (he's just said "Mac users" instead of "liberals"), but I think Starbucks is more associated with suburban soccer moms now.
